We need to update the kernel for the primary system which will require a reboot. We're replacing the OpenSSL library which is linked against many systems on the main server. In order to do this we need to rebuild the library and reboot the system. It is technically possible to do this without a reboot for completeness we'll be taking the extra couple of minutes to ensure that we've locked down any holes that might exist.

Total down time should be appx. 15 minutes. My apologies for the outage.

UPDATE: As expected, the outage was just under 15 minutes. Thanks for your patience!

It seems that the network connected to VPOP's system is completely down. This means that no mail or web traffic is making it in or out. We are working with our upstream provider now to get the problem resolved and will post an update here as soon as we have one.
-------------------

UPDATE [9:24am] Things are back up. Although the outage was less than 15 minutes it was a complete outage. I'm still trying to find out the details from our upstream but for now, we're up.
