Just me or is Hughes email down for everyone?
Been getting this since early this morning:
Hi BirdDog,
Thanks for letting us know, is it still happening now? Nothing's popping up in our reports about email, and we haven't heard elsewhere of similar reports. Amanda and I haven't been able to reproduce that error either.
Working again so whatever causing it was temporary. Thanks for the replies.
I normally use Outlook and POP the account, but I just checked and my webmail on zimbra works... Using Ajax and HTML.
That said, a 500 error on a web site usually means the underlying database is getting pounded. I can tell you I've been having a **bleep** of a time with script kiddies doing lots naughty things on my server as well as the main one I administer. Actually had someone hack in two days ago, and someone with repeated automated login attempts killed the database and caused a bunch of posts to not to publish on time (created a 500 error, which killed the WordPress cron).
Also, spam is getting close to spamstorm levels of fake purchase orders, and "desperate to hookup" type things, ransom emails, etc.; as well as web site blog spam.
Seeing lots of nonsense come out of the US, China, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina... it's rampant right now.

I'm a little late to this, but mine's working. I only sign in to it every few months to clean it out, as I only use it for Community notifications, and forwarding them to my normal email, at that.
1760 notifications since I last signed in on July 25th. :p
Edit: Missed your new reply while I was checking it out and writing this reply, BirdDog. Glad it's working again.
