Please be advised that Sys3 Limited will be completing a major email systems upgrade commencing Saturday 3rd December 2011

The maintenance window will start at 2200 and close at 0200, Sunday 4th December 2011.

The following Email services will be unavailable during the maintenance window while all email data is replicated to the new platform:

  • POP3
  • SMTP
  • IMAP
  • Webmail

This upgrade also involves updating sys3internet.net DNS records. We have taken the following steps to reduce impact on users:

  1. Domain (sys3internet.net) TTL’s reduced to 3 hours Monday 28th November 2011
  2. Reduce Domain TTL’s to 15 minutes Friday 2nd December 2011

These steps should assist in the fast propogation of the updated DNS Records to caching DNS servers on the Internet.

The update will include updating the following names with the following new IP addresses:

  • pop3.sys3internet.net will update to IP: 84.22.183.34
  • smtp.sys3internet.net will update to IP: 84.22.183.37
  • imap.sys3internet.net will update to IP: 84.22.183.37
  • wm.sys3internet.net will update to IP: 84.22.183.34
