Stosh 3452 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Trail Life USA was having major problems today with their email servers because of so many requests for information. Everyone will be glad to know that they have now resolved the issue and are back online. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Stosh 3452 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I didn't see it so much as an IT problem in that the overload of inquiries on the day after the announcement would overwhelm their email servers. It normally takes a hacker attack to pull that off, not just normal usage. Link to post Share on other sites
Gone 435 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Unless they don't have capacity. I did a quick check on their ISP and their inbound capabilities are modest. According to net traffic they had over 100,000 inquiries to their system Monday-Tuesday. That was more than their system obviously could handle. Appears they've moved to another site that can handle more traffic and volume. From an IT perspective I would have recommended that knowing of BSA's announcement, but then again I've been doing IT planning a while. Link to post Share on other sites
