Maintenance
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.

Scheduled US IMAP email server downtime

On 26 August 2026 at between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm US/Pacific time our network team will be performing infrastructure maintenance. During this 5-hour window, network connectivity to one of our US IMAP/POP3 email servers will be interrupted for up to 1 hour.

As a result, some customer mailboxes will be unavailable for up to 1 hour during the network interruption. Customers who will be impacted by the interruption have been emailed directly.

No incoming mail will be lost during the interruption. Mail that arrives during the interruption will be deferred and delivered once connectivity to the mail server is restored.

Email forwarding and SMTP services will not be affected, however messages sent via SMTP during the interruption will not be stored as sent mail in IMAP folders on the server.

We'll update our status page at http://status.opalstack.com/ at the beginning of the maintenance window. To be informed of system status updates automatically please subscribe at https://status.opalstack.com/subscribe.

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

Temporary mail certificate error, now resolved

At approximately 0500 UTC today (19 April 2024) there was a problem with a routine certificate update which caused invalid certificates to be deployed to our mail servers.

The change was rolled back after about 90 minutes and the mail services are operating normally at this time.

Mail forwarding issue (now resolved)

At around 16:15 UTC on 16 April 2024 a configuration update was deployed to our forwarding mail servers. The update inadvertently included some old configuration that we used when we initially rolled out SRS mail forwarding a few months ago. As a result of this error some mail sent to customer forwarding addresses may have been bounced back to the sender.

The configuration has been corrected today 17 April 2024 as of 19:05 UTC and the old configuration has been purged from our management systems to prevent this from occurring again.
