Fastmail – Availability Dropping Again

3 pointsLilBytes3 comments

FastMail seems to be losing availability again. POP3 and IMAP aren't responding for me, nor is the web portal.

Status page hasn't been updated as of yet. This started ~10 minutes ago.

"We are currently experiencing a DDoS attack, however we have a number of mitigations in place to minimise the attack’s effects. Some customers might see a degradation of services."

Would be pretty amazing if these guys just happened to offer a parallel service, where you could test new features, but which isn't affected by the outage.
