Intermittent connection sending email

Some users are experiencing intermittent failures trying to send email, this is affecting both Apollo and Cupid servers.

The problem has been narrowed down to Assp Deluxe refusing to allow connections for outgoing email, incoming email does not seem to be affected.

We are looking into the cause.

Update 15/01/2024

Both servers are now experiencing total loss of connection for outgoing email, this is also starting to affect email being delivered to the server.

So We have taken the step of shutting to down Assp Deluxe and reverting both servers back to Spam Assassin to handle all spam filtering
