SPAM E-Mail Surge Slows Tiscali
Posted: 01st Oct, 2004 By: MarkJ
Tiscali UK has stated that a "sudden increase in spamming activity" is the reason that some customers may currently being experiencing a poor e-mail service:
Said Tiscali UK in a statement: "We have witnessed a sudden increase in spamming activity which has affected the email performance for some customers recently. We are currently putting in place measures to prevent spammers registering for and using our email service, but do not want to give further details at this stage as this will only play into the hands of the spammers.
"However we can assure customers that we have completed the installation of additional hardware to increase our mail handling capabilities and ensure that the impact on customers is minimised while we address the root cause."
Much like The Register, we have also had many similar complaints regarding excessive e-mail delays and general slowness. Have any customers noticed an improvement on this front?
