Howdy!

I'm pleased to report that our spam filter is now completely empty and Sandy is reading and responding to incoming email lickety-split.

Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience and can't overemphasize how much we've appreciated your patience while we worked to resolve this matter.

Have a lovely and productive weekend!

Howdy again, folks!

I wanted to drop in and provide an update on this issue.

The spam queue is all but completely cleared and I see Sandy replying (albeit late) to those of your messages that had been waiting in the spam system's inbound queue and those that are arriving again after being deferred earlier due to the email overload.

To give you some idea of the immensity: we've turned away over 400,000 spurious messages per day for the past couple-three days and are finally down to only 695 in Sandy's inbound queue.

We'll be continuing to work on fine-tuning that spam barrier to make it more efficient. To some degree there's not much we can do to anticipate that level of activity; on the other, we're always doing all in our power to deal with it if and when it does happen.

I apologize for the lag and trouble that undoubtedly caused you.

I'll follow up again later this evening with another update.

In the meantime, know that we appreciate your understanding, encouraging words, and all-out helpfulness.

Rael

I'm having the same issue as everyone else - however, I joined Jott and can Jott Sandy from my phone - she seems to be getting those just fine, so I can at least keep up with myself.

Rael, does this affect Stikkit as well? Outgoing mails from Stikkit are taking up to a day to be sent.

kevin1 replied on March 19, 2008 20:05 to the question "how can i view all recent activity?" in I want Sandy:

This option is still available, it's just not the default.

On Sandy's website, click on "Daily Digest > Any time" or "Your stuff > any type", then change the "sort order" in the drop down box from "sort by date" to "sort by last updated".

(You also might want to check the "include past" option if you're looking for events updated yesterday, etc.)

Michael replied on March 19, 2008 00:50 to the question "how can i view all recent activity?" in I want Sandy:

I communicate with Sandy mostly through Jott, and often there are transcription errors, which I need to correct. I need to be able to find recently updated stuff for review. This used to be available, but seems to have gone away.
