Webaccess is currently experiencing issues after a patch update. I have contacted support for a resolution and will post when all is working again.

We believe we have issues with outgoing mail resolved. There have been random emails bounce back and have discovered the our ISP has to recreate a PTR record for us. We are still working on installing our SSL server certificates, the last attempt failed. Groupwise Mobility Server is still inactive at the moment, please check back here for the latest updates. I am told by technician support the NO changes should have to be made on devices using native mobile apps to receive email. Emails should start flowing once our SSL issue is resolved and the Groupwise Mobility Service is up and running.

The Groupwise Post office and domain are upgraded as well as Groupwise Webaccess. Webaccess has a new link and may be reached at https://groupwiseweb.clawsons.com/gw/webacc

At the moment, you will receive a security warning as we have not installed our SSL secure certificates, we have submitted our request and are waiting on the response files.

Groupwise Mobility Server has NOT been upgraded yet, so mobile mail apps are not functioning. We cannot upgrade until we receive the SSL files from Geotrust. For the time being, use WebAccess for mobile mail and I will post when the mobility server is fully configured.

We will be upgrading Groupwise on Friday, May 17 beginning around noon.  ALL components of Groupwise will be upgraded: Groupwise WebAccess, Groupwise Mobility Services (mobile email), Novell Messenger, the Groupwise Post Office and Domain.  Groupwise services will be down after noon on Friday, May 17 but incoming emails will queue in our Barracuda Spam Filter and will be delivered once the Post Office upgrade is complete.  

Since this is major version upgrade, it may mean your mobile Groupwise settings will have to be adjusted.  If so, instructions will be posted on the employee website to set up your mobile mail app.

For internal Groupwise users, a new client will be available. We will uninstall Groupwise via ZENworks and reinstall the new client via a Groupwise Bundle.

If you have any questions, please call me on x334.

Plan ahead for best viewing and avoid traffic congestion

• Barred for traffic congestion before and after the August 21 eclipse.
  

Interstate 69, U.S. 41, and U.S. 231 are expected to experience increased traffic in southbound lanes before the event as caravans of motorists head for Western Kentucky where the moon’s full eclipse of the sun can be viewed within a 70-mile-wide swath encompassing Hopkinsville, Paducah, and Madison, KY. After the event, transportation planners anticipate a “mass exodus” from total eclipse regions.  Expect heavier than normal northbound traffic on these routes.

Interstate 65 will also see increased traffic going to—and returning from—total eclipse vantage points that begin at Bowling Green, KY and extend beyond Nashville, TN.  Again, southbound traffic is expected to rise before the solar eclipse. Northbound lanes will experience congestion after the eclipse.

• If you want to drive toward the eclipse path for better viewing, allow extra time.
  

• Make plans now for overnight accommodations—overnight camping is prohibited at rest areas.
  
• If planning to view the eclipse, wear safety glasses. They are available on-line or from many popular retailers costing from $2 to $70; some are being given away by organizations.  DO NOT look at the partial eclipse without proper filtration.

•  Visit the NASA website at http://eclipse2017.nasa.gov.
