At our 3am maintenance window we configured additional security blocks and configuration into our backbone equipment due to outside denial of service attacks that have recently caused additional latency in our system. While the attacks didn't cause an outage, they caused slowdowns in equipment. These attacks originated outside of the country. Several were from Amsterdam, in which we will work with their ISPs to track down. Our team was able to quickly stop the attacks each time utilizing our state of the art monitoring equipment. This is a part of our commitment to providing the best possible services.

We have noticed a dramatic increase in number of customer systems that are infected with viruses and are sending out spam and virus emails. In order to help prevent the spread of these messages and to keep service quality high for other customers, like many other ISPs we now are blocking outgoing email connections other than to the Casair Mail service.

If you find you can no longer send email after this change, simply change your outgoing mail server connection to use SSL or use smtp.casair.net. For more information visit our FAQ, or call customer support at 989-831-8800.

This change will not affect connections to webmail services like Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail or Microsoft Hotmail.

This is a part of our commitment to provide the best possible service.
