Welcome to the Oddblog, where we prattle on incessantly about bug fixes, feature additions and all things Oddpost. Please note that if there are no announcements on a given day, it does in fact mean we were out blowing your subscriber dollars on handcrafted doilies and pink champagne.

After many long hours of toil, we've modified our systems to deal with the surge in email traffic caused by the MyDoom virus. Mail sent to you at Oddpost is currently competing with a large number of bogus messages spawned by the virus, so delivery may be delayed. We'll continue to tune our systems in the coming days to mitigate the impact of MyDoom as best we can.
Aside: if you haven't heard about MyDoom, please post an encouraging thought in the comments section causing us to regrettably forever disable comments, then read about it here or here. And if you have heard about MyDoom, and perhaps know who wrote it, click here to win $250,000.

Yikes, looks like we spoke too soon. We're still dealing with an onslaught of mail from the MyDoom virus. We'll continue to post updates here.

MyDoom update: all systems are back to normal. Delivery of some mail was temporarily delayed, no mail was lost. Still more info on the virus can be found here. [Update to update: please direct any questions to support@oddpost.com -- our support staff does not monitor the comments section of the weblog.]

A mass-mailing virus known as MyDoom is currently spreading through the Internet. More info is available here. Oddpost accounts are not infected with the virus. However, our servers are receiving massive amounts of mail sent by machines that are infected, which is causing degradation in the performance of the service. We're working on a resolution now.
