On Friday, December 31st, 2004, starting at 12:00 Noon, we will be upgrading our network. This upgrade will take approximately two hours to complete. During this time all email services will be unavailable and there will be brief interruptions in all web services. Mail that arrives during the upgrades will be stored and delivered when the upgrades have been completed.
Update 2:12pm: Maintenance completed and all services are up and functioning normally. Have a Happy New Year!
