UPDATE: this was resolved at 2:38PM by correcting a configuration eror. Sorry for an inconvenience caused. 

Starting at approximately 2:25PM today the uniedit tool is unable to lookup account data. CUIT staff is investigating the issue. 

The amount of detected spam jumped from typical 800,000 a day to 3,600,000 yesterday, and it is continuing at the higher level today. The volume causes processing delays at random moments on messages coming in from outside. Other than that, the system is holding up well.

The amount of undetected (delivered) spam is also a little higher, and we will fine tune filters to stop more of it. The spam is for drugs.

CUIT is performing necessary maintenance on this service.   Specifically, more memory is being added to the database to improve performance.  This scheduled maintenance is expected to be completed on-time.

During the scheduled time of this Service Alert, 11pm tonight and midnight, Rascal will be unavailable.

CUIT apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause, but this action is necessary to ensure a more reliable service.  If clients continue to experience issues after the service-interruption hours, please contact the CUIT Helpdesk at:

Update:  This change was successful and service was restored at midnight.
