Our 2nd attempt to upgrade to our new SpamTitan 6.0 server has gone smoothly. There was no disruption to incoming mail flow.
It is possible that customers will receive duplicate Spam Quarantine Report emails tomorrow as the old server is still running alongside the new one and any mail that has already been quarantined prior to the upgrade will remain on the old server until released or automatically purged.
