Wireshark and WinPcap SMTP outages

Some time yesterday afternoon PST Google upgraded us from Postini (which we used for spam filtering) to Google Apps. I was planning to do the migration by hand over the winter holiday but it looks like I missed the upgrade notice. Unfortunately our post-migration configuration severely restricted the volume of outbound mail we were allowed to send which resulted in the loss of mail. At 23:10 UTC yesterday (the 16th) we exceeded our daily limit and GMail started rejecting our messages. This lasted until 20:45 UTC today. The rejection messages used a 550 (permanent) status code, which caused the messages to be dropped on our end. During this time messages to the Wireshark and WinPcap mailing lists were archived but not sent. Messages to personal addresses were dropped. I've updated our Google Apps configuration to remove the delivery restrictions and reconfigured the Wireshark and WinPcap mail servers to retry delivery instead of dropping messages so this hopefully shouldn't be a problem in the future. My apologies for any inconvenience. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
