Slightly sluggish

Howdy,

Sandy's sluggishness over the past few hours has been due — it turns out — to an attempted spam attack. Sandy's mail servers and spam filters are working beautifully (protecting you and your account), but are moving a little more slowly under the incredible load.

This means you're likely to be experiencing responses from Sandy that are on the sluggish side (no more than just a few minutes). This applies to any email you're sending to Sandy; twittering, jotting, and using Sandy's web site to talk to her is working just fine.

We've made some adjustments to Sandy's spam filters to match the particular attempts being made to get email through to her and that's having a good effect (in terms of server load and thus Sandy's speed of response).

I'll post shortly with an update.

Best,

Rael
