Scheduled network maintenance for opal3 and opal8

On 20 August 2026 between 11:00am and 4:00pm PDT (UTC-7) our data center team will be upgrading the racks that host the following servers:

  • opal3.opalstack.com
  • opal8.opalstack.com

During the 5-hour maintenance window, network connectivity to the affected servers will be interrupted for up to 1 hour during which websites and other services hosted on the servers will be unavailable.

Email and DNS services will not be affected.

The hosting control panel will remain online, but will be unable to apply changes to your services until connectivity to the server is restored.

Affected customers who would like have their services relocated to a different server prior to 20 August 2026 should contact the Opalstack support team to make the necessary arrangements.

Delays in mail forwarding to Google

Google is once again rate-limiting messages forwarded from our MX servers. We're working to resolve this and expect the backlog to be cleared over the next several hours.

As a temporary workaround, customers can route an Opalstack mailbox to their forwarding email address and then use that mailbox as a POP3 account in their Gmail settings.

We will update this post when the backlog of forwarded messages is cleared.

  • The bcklog of deferred mail is now clear.

    Delays in mail forwarding to Google

    Google had rate-limited 2 of our forwarding MX servers over the weekend resulting in forwarding delays for some users who forward mail to Gmail.

    We've corrected the cause of the rate limit and expect all pending mail to be delivered over the next several hours.

  • All of the pending forwarded mail has been delivered.
