During the process of applying updates, several of our CS services will be unavailable.  If there are any unexpected complications during the update process that will delay the restoration of services, we will update the CS IT Support Wiki's Notices page at https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Notices
 
 
 
Suspended (Unavailable) Ugrad Net services while the servers are updated:
 
 
 
* CS Ugrad Mail service, both incoming and outgoing, will be suspended for CS Ugrad Net users.

:'''DETAILS:'''
 
 
 
::We have discovered an issue with our mail spool disk on ''blaze'' our Grad/Research net mail server which must be corrected right away.  As such, we expect that a configuration change and reboot should fix the problem.

You will not be able to send or receive mail (IMAP/POP/etc.) through blaze (smtp.cs.jhu.edu/pop.cs.jhu.edu) or via webmail during that time. Also, DNS might be slow or non-existent, depending upon your client's own configuration.
 
 
 
::You also might experience slow connection times to www.cs.jhu.edu.
