    Mails to Microsoft Mail accounts get rejected

    Mails to Microsoft accounts are rejected, we are not given a reason and our request to unblock our mailgates is not responded to. We change the mail gateways as far as we can, but unfortunately the block seems to take effect after a few hours on the gateway we changed.

    no mail to any t-online hosts

    Currently, we can not deliver mail to any t-online servers.

  • We can connect to t-online's MX servers again.

  • While we have no detailed information at this time, we suspect an error with t-online's infrastructure, as reported elsewhere on the net over the last hour. We keep investigating.

    E.g. https://www.ifun.de/telekom-kunden-berichten-von-flaechendeckenden-e-mail-stoerungen-238410/

  • Partial problems with mail delivery from all *.uberspace.de hosts

    Since the end of last week we have been experiencing increasing problems with mail delivery to certain destinations from all uberspace.de hosts.

    The exact cause is still is not yet known, but we are investigating and working on workarounds.

  • Mail delivery was rerouted from the individual hosts to our mail gateway. Delivery problems should be resolved.

  • We're checking our logs on a daily basis and identify domains, which are affected. We work around these domains on the next business day. So if you get a bounce for a domain you haven't sent a mail within the last two weeks today please try again the next day. We'll have that domain on our list by then.

  • Since we still haven’t received any helpful response from the reputation service provider, we have now implemented a permanent workaround for all domains with mail servers behind IronPort that we are aware of.

  • After a brief recovery, a large proportion of our hosts are now blocked again. While we continue to wait for answers as to why, we have now placed an smtproute over working hosts for all blocked hosts.

  • Apparently, a major provider of e-mail security solutions had classified us as “poor” - contrary to its publicly available information and initial responses to our inquiries - and blocked us on its IronPort firewall.

    Unfortunately, despite several attempts, we still have no information about which patterns might have been responsible, but at least the block seems to have been lifted. Nevertheless, we will continue to monitor this closely.

  • 26th June 2024

    ananke.uberspace.de MariaDB on ananke impacted

    While ananke itself is working fine, its MariaDB instance seems to hang. We're checking things out.

  • Recovery is done, system is up and running. MariaDB works fine again. As it didn't even react to a SIGKILL and completely blocked even a shutdown, we had to hard-reset ananke. Afterwards, MariaDB was running fine; tables are undergoing a consistency check. There's no indication of circumstances that could have led to this situation, so we suspect a rare bug in MariaDB itself. No other hosts were affected, and the underlying storage system is completely healthy with no errors.

  • The system needs to be rebooted and will reappear in a few minutes.

  • 25th June 2024

    FRA3 Network instabilities at FRA3

    A planned routing failover had unexpected side effects. We're already in debug mode, stable operation should be back in a moment.

  • Shifting traffic from our soon-to-be-remove router to our new replacement router is finished and network connectivity has been fully reestablished.

  • 12th June 2024

  • Core router reboot finished. Connectivity is restored.

  • 14th May 2024

    FRA4 network outage

    We noticed a network outage at our FRA4 datacentre. Based on information of our provider, this is reportedly caused by a power outage at a major data carrier.

  • Our datacenter has immediately switched to backup connections, but it took a few minutes until the routing tables have been adapted accordingly. During this time, we observed partial connectivity in varying ways (some peerings worked faster than others). The majority of connections was back on 12:06 GMT+2, three minutes after the incident. A few peerings needed up to ten more minutes to reconnect cleanly. Between 12:21 GMT+2 and 12:23 GMT+2 there was another short outage due to works needed to stabilize the situation, which resolved quickly.

    ferdinand.uberspace.de Zeitweilige Performance Einschränkungen bei ferdinand.uberspace.de

    Aktuell kann es auf dem Host ferdinand zu einer Einschränkung der Performance kommen. Dort läuft aktuell eine Kampagne von postmitherz.org über die wir uns sehr freuen, die aber teilweise zu hohen Lastspitzen führt. Wir haben für den Host daher bereits einen eigenen Server Node freigemacht um für den Zeitraum (bis 18.12.) der Kampagne möglichst viel Spielraum zu geben.

    Solltest du dennoch ein Problem mit deiner Seite feststellen, schreib bitte unserem Support und wir suchen gemeinsam nach einer Lösung.

  • Die Aktion ist beendet und es sind keine weiteren Einschränkungen zu erwarten.

    FRA3 Partial downtime/failures FRA3

    we observe partial failures on fr3

  • Everything is up and running, and the last host is also showing normal performance again.

    The root cause was likely an unintentionally installed package on the Ceph nodes during an OS update, which caused the IPs in Ceph to become disoriented.

  • All hosts are reachable again, and their services are running. However, we still observe high load on some of them. We are addressing this issue, but overall, the situation has already significantly eased.

  • After a network/configuration problem of our ceph-cluster at FRA3, we have the situation under control again, but still have some follow-up errors to fix. some hosts and services are still down. We are working on it

  • Hardware down

    We have received down notifications for the hosts neujmin howell callirrhoe eirene bernardi epimetheus and chaldene from monitoring, suspect underlying hardware as the cause and are currently investigating the incident.

    We are in process of rebooting the crashed hosts right now.
