Hi Folks – I’m performing some updates on our PHP setup so will most likely need to rotate our webservers out of service one at a time to get this done. Things may slow down slightly, but I’ll try to keep this as painless a procedure as possible. Getting rolling now, ~10:45am ET. Update 1pm [...]

Except when it gets in the way, as GeekISP’s SMTP load balancer has been over the past week or two. You may have noticed periodic errors when sending mail – that’s the problem.
