In an effort to resolve many issues with the FlareHosting mail servers being blocked by other companies, we have decided to disable the ability to automatically forward messages to the following domains. Messages that are individually forwarded or replied to that attempt to be delivered to any of these domains will not be effected.
Comcast.net
Earthlink.net
RR.com
Yahoo.com
This is effective only on the mail servers with the following IP addresses:
208.83.25.8
208.83.26.8
208.83.30.8
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause a few people however this is needed to ensure that we continue to offer the best and most reliable mail services in the industry. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free contact our Support Team during business hours to discuss this with you further.
Thank you,
Flare Hosting Support Staff |

We apologize for the short notice but there will emergency maintenance performed on some of the mail servers this afternoon starting at 3:00PM EST. This maintenance will take approximately 2 hours during which you may not be able to send or receive email.
Based on standard practices for email communication, sending servers should queue messages and attempt to resend at a later time if communication can not be made to the receiving servers. Each mail server we are performing maintenance on should not be down any longer than the typical retry timeout periods.

We had a network outage upstream from us. Some sites were not accessible due to this outage. This issue has been corrected and all sites should be accessible. We apologize but this was not in our control. We are making a few changes to the overall network to have more redundant connections.

Due to an Internet router about 10 to 15 percent of the world could not route traffic to the Flare Hosting IP addresses. The network and servers and sites were never down. They have fixed the Router issue and all traffic should be normal. We apologize but this was not in our control.
