All systems operational - request for comment on dorm bandwidth

All systems are operational at this time.  If you are a resident user, ITS would appreciate your comments on bandwidth performance over the past 24 hours.  Changes were implemented that should show improvement in some areas.  We would like to know what is working better than before and what is not working or working poorer than before.

UDM Email Blacklisted by Comcast and others

UDM appears to be blacklisted by a number of servers including Comcast.  If you experience a bounce-back from an address you have successfully sent to and believe to still be active in the past and the bounce-back indicates some type of security issue, it may be related to our blacklisted status.

 

ITS will work the channels to clear our good name and restore e-mail communications to these sites as quickly as possible.

 

 

Bandwidth Adjustments

Significant changes have been implemented to provide more bandwidth to the resident students.  Any feedback on performance would be most appreciated.  Of course, access to P2P type sites may still be slow.  YouTube seems to be slow at times as well.

We are pleased to report all WIFI access points are fully operation.  UDM has over 200 AP’s across all three campuses.

Facilities Power Outage

There is a power outage in multiple buildings on the McNichols campus. For more information, please contact Facilities or review their blog.

Listserver - Update

The listserver is processing mail once again. Due to a corrupted list, most inbound messages to the lists were never processed. Unfortunately, if a message was sent to a list and was not processed through, the message will need to be resent.

Listserver not processing messages

It was discovered today that the listserver is not processing messages sent to it. IT staff are looking into it. At this time we cannot say whether messages sent to the list during this time will be processed through or need to be resent. Please stay tuned.
