US IMAP email server downtime

On 22 July 2026 at 10:00 am US/Central time (UTC -5) one of our US IMAP email servers will be shut down for infrastructure maintenance. The server will be offline during the maintenance and the expected downtime is 6 hours.

Affected customers will be notified individually via email.

No incoming mail will be lost while the server is offline. Mail that arrives during the maintenance will be deferred and delivered once the mail server is back online.

We realize that the timing of this relocation is not ideal. If you have business-critical mailboxes and would like them to be available during the maintenance then please email support@opalstack.com or reply to this message to make arrangements to have your mailboxes migrated to a different IMAP server prior to the scheduled maintenance date.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this maintenance then please email the Opalstack support team for assistance.

Web: San Francisco Unplanned reboot of opal3

On Saturday 10 December at around 0800 UTC (midnight US/Pacific) opal3.opalstack.com in San Francisco became unresponsive. After several unsuccessful attempts to access the server for troubleshooting, we rebooted the server and it was back online around 0900 UTC (1am US/Pacific).

The outage appears to have been triggered by a very rapid spike in system memory usage. The high load unfortunately interrupted the system logging facilities so we weren't able to precisely identify the cause, but we suspect that it was due to an buggy Apache rewrite rule in a customer application.
