We are pleased to report that the overnight upgrade to Zimbra001 was successful and the server is now running version 5.0.22 – the most up-to-date release of Zimbra 5.

More news on Zimbra upgrades to follow shortly.

On Wednesday evening we will be upgrading our Zimbra 001 server to the latest release of version 5, with a view to upgrading to version 6 in the very near future.

In order to minimise any disruption this work will take place from midnight and will take approximately half an hour.

This will incur a short amount of downtime when you will not be able to access your mailbox. However, no emails will be delayed at this time as our unique infrastructure allows us to queue up messages for delivery when the system comes back online.

You shouldn’t need to upgrade to a later version of Zimbra Connector, however the latest version of the Connector is available from our support pages should you need it.

No action is required on your part.

From feedback we’ve received we are refining the Partner Listing to define those Partners that are able to sell individual Very Good Email Company services, and those that will only bundle along with other services.

We will be contacting all listed resellers over the next week, or so, to confirm how they wish to be listed.

We are currently putting together a couple of Partner Training dates for the second half of April – more details to follow shortly.

Don’t forget – MessageBunker, Gateway and Mailcore services are now only available through our Partners.

Data backups can now be provided on demand. The turnaround time for this service is up to 2 weeks. We expect some customers may wish to have this done on a monthly basis.

MessageBunker is available from our network of Accredited Partners

This removes any potential conflict with direct sales and enables Partners to provide this innovative service alongside their existing email solutions.

Take a look here for a list of MessageBunker Partners.

It’s not the argument of what constitutes Spam – we’re all different – but I did find myself agreeing strongly with one of their conclusions: “we do encourage any ISP that deploys anti-spam filtering to give its customers some degree of control over which addresses it applies to; even if that is merely in the form of a basic “on” and “off” switch.”

We’d strongly agree with that sentiment – and being able to select the level of filtering (from ‘Low’ to ‘Extreme’) has always been a core feature of our filtering platform here at The Very Good Email Company, along with the ability to view and restore any removed mail from the customers’ Spam folder.
