Incident with an edge core router.

We are currently encountering an incident with one of our core edge routers and will need to restart the affected equipment. This will cause some of our transit and peering routes to flap for several minutes whilst the network stablilises. Some users may encouter a short but temporary loss of service while routes reconverge.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Updated (15:00) : The problem appears to be with a memeber at the PaNAP peering exchange in Paris. For the moment we have shut down our port to the PaNAP until the issue there is resolved, at which time we will bring our peering sessions at PaNAP back up.

Updated (18:00): The problem at the PaNAP has been resolved and our BGP peering sessions are now restored.

Slower creation time for GandiAI servers

The creation and update of servers using GandiAI is currently taking longer than usual due to an issue with the package server. We are working to resolve the issue.

deb http://mirrors.gandi.net/ubuntu-old gutsy-updates main

Rebooting of servers

Following a software problem on several machines, many servers simultaneously requested a migration to another machine.

The process is automatic, though unfortunately it took some time, given the rather large number of servers that was involved.

Mail: the bug is still there

About a third of our customers are currently experiencing delays in with their mail service.

The reason is unfortunately known: the bug we have already identified is still there, but has taken a slightly different form, and causes the locking of some mail boxes (precisely 160 have been clearly identified).

There are three different situations:

- If you are experiencing a failure of your mail box, there is nothing to do but wait for us to fix your account. This will be done automatically and as soon as possible.

- If you are experiencing delays in your messages reception, please wait around half an hour before trying to get your messages again, reception should not be a problem by then.

- If everything is working correctly for you, congratulations, you are among the majority of our customers for which our fixes were successful.

In all cases, we apologize for the inconvenience. We will keep you informed of the measures taken and of our progress in the task of providing you with the perfect email service (= i.e. normal).
