SloanGroups Email Outage Update and Resolution (STS)

Thank you for your patience during the recent email issue involving Campus Groups. We realize some of you received numerous outdated emails, and we hope they didn't overwhelm your inboxes.

What Happened?

• Unannounced Update: Campus Groups initiated a server update on November 20th, intended for evening hours to minimize impact. Unfortunately, we weren't informed about this, preventing us from alerting you in advance.
• Gateway Issue: A problem with our old mail gateway arose over the weekend and was fixed on Monday. However, this led to the unintended resending of 'old' club officers' emails.
• Resolution Attempts: Upon notice, Campus Groups worked to halt the email flow but faced challenges. They have now found and implemented a solution to prevent future occurrences.

We were in constant communication with Campus Groups to expedite a solution, but the resolution took longer than expected.

Campus Groups has apologized for the inconvenience, and we are working closely with them to review and refine our server configuration to avoid similar issues moving forward.
