webmail.ups.edu link not connecting to Webmail 3/23/2015 [Resolved]

[Updated 03/23/2015 11:30 am] webmail.ups.edu is functional again, and redirects to webmail.pugetsound.edu as it should.

[Original Post] Members of the campus community have reported that navigating to webmail.ups.edu is not functioning. It is giving a “the connection was reset” or similar error message depending on the web browser they are using. Email functionality is not affected; you may still reach Webmail by navigating to webmail.pugetsound.edu, and we are investigating why the redirect is not working. Thank you.

FYI – K20 Announcement of fiber damage from the storm.  No issues have been reported yet as a result.

INVOLVING: K20

CURRENT EVENT START  : 12/13/10 22:22 PST

CURRENT EVENT STOP   : ?

 SUMMARY:

  This notice is being sent to all K20 customers.  We probably should have sent this notice sooner.

  WSIPC is part of a 14 site outage caused by a fiber break which occurred last night at 22:22 pm.  That specific outage is being tracked in our ticket 940112.

  As many customers have noticed, WSIPC services such as hosted DNS, email, and some applications such as Skyward and Citrix are affected.

  These WSIPC services will be down until the outage can be resolved.  At this time, the fiber provider is working on providing an alternate path for the affected transport circuits but there is still no ETR at this time.
