As advised in the newsletter we are upgrading the newer mail servers to
use the new storage systems and operate as a pool of machines allowing
more throughput and higher performance.

We have completed the work on our test servers, and have also completed
the work on the D server which meant a short outage late last night
affecting a small number of customers. No email would have been lost.

We are now recycling the D server to be part of the new mail server
pool.

The C server is next. The work will mean you will not be able to access
the server for a short period while data is transferred.
We aim to carry out this work late at night or over a weekend. Other
than a short period when email is not flowing and pop3/imap/webmail
access is not available this should be pretty seamless.

We will then recycle the C server as part of the new mail server pool.
