We’ve been having some teething problems after moving to the new web hosting service. All of our email addresses had to be re-created, and yours truly inadvertently entered the wrong password for one of the numerous email addresses we use. No big deal, except that the email address concerned is used exclusively by the automated systems that we developed and use extensively.
There was a difference in the new web hosting environment we had overlooked that was causing problems for our automated systems. Now these systems are designed to report any problems they have by sending us an email. Of course, this is a bit difficult if some idiot (umm, that would be me) changed the password, preventing the systems from logging in to the mail server!
So we thought everything was humming along nicely when, in fact, these systems were having problems and were unable to report them. This also affected the systems that send out emails to clients, eg. mailing list subscriptions and license requests. Oh boy. We’ve got most of them fixed now and the last one will be fixed shortly, so everything should be back to normal by the end of today.
Sorry if you didn’t receive any emails you were expecting. It’s kind of my fault.
