Their sites are up. What we have is a stale "news" item indicating that JT (or Trevor) was aware of a different problem and working on it 6 hours ago, mentioning a 1-hour ETA on a fix, but no updated information.

I think I'll go look at the host for news page right now... :-/ Now to get the news page updated... that probably requires them to make a phone call, to someone with access to the 'net!

It's hosted in the same facility, but the HTTP service on that server seems to be pretty much the only thing that's working this morning. That probably means it's not a massive failure "upstream," but rather crap happening with JT's servers.

OK, "good" to see it is not just me with the issue getting to smtp.cesmail.net - and so I can stop chasing down whether the ISP "changed anything" or somesuch... I guess all 'we' just to need wait... First glitch in many years, otherwise an excellent service - so thanks regardless!
