Over the next few days we will be upgrading our Barracuda Spam filter appliance. Some customers subscribe to this service to add a better layer of email filtering protection as well as email based virus scanning.

As the new hardware goes into operation we may be making some tweaks or modifications to it. We will be migrating most of the settings over from our old Barracuda hardware.

Our offices will be closed for meetings and walk-in traffic from December 22 - January 5th.

During this time we will be providing Tier 1 support by our online ticketing system or by email to support@dytek.net

Tier 1 phone support will also be available but the recommended method to gain access to support is via our support site at http://support.dytek.net where you can create a ticket and be assisted in the most effective manner.

We do monitor our systems and servers 24/7/365.
