The email service was unavailable between 00:05 and 19:25 today, November 2, 2021.
The cause of the problem is related to data corruption, caused by a hardware failure in a disk system that affected thousands of mailboxes. Despite the multiple levels of redundancy that the mail solution has, data recovery required the use of the last 24-hour backup.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. We are continuing to investigate the source of the problem.

Since April 4th, the domain “tecnico.ulisboa.pt” is being supported by DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions).
This change allows a step further towards an improvement in access security to computer services hosted in IST.
This new feature will allow the publication of various types of DNS records with public information, such as public key SSH/SSL services or other sensitive security information, with the guarantee that the client is able to use the DNSSEC verification mechanisms to ensure that these consulted computer records, have not been tampered with while halfway between the IST network and the user’s computer (i.e. Man-In-The-Middle or MITM).
We inform you that on the 16th of December, 2015, at 7 PM the data network of Universidade de Lisboa will have a technical interruption to reorganize the connections and traffic routing.
During this intervention all Técnico and INESC (Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers) networks will have no access to the Internet or to the networks from the other schools of the Universidade de Lisboa.
It is estimated that the operation will take about 1 hour until all traffic destinations are reachable again. However, there might be unexpected occurrences causing a delay in resetting the services.

We inform that the logins to the application Ephorus were cancelled in October by Turnitin manufacturer throughout ULisboa, following a failure renewal of this software.
The software in this contract is the Urkund, and wait for details about the disposal.
It is likely that the creation of logins has to be repeated, and there’s no migration of individual settings made in the previous platform Ephorus.
We expect that the situation can be resolved at the end of November.
We inform that the logins on the website of Ephorus / Turnitin are temporarily blocked.
Following the acquisition of the company by Ephorus Turnitin, coinciding with the renewal of the current contract, the manufacturer maintains the logins already allocated suspended throughout ULisboa.
This difficulty began in mid-October, and we think it can be resolved by the beginning of November.
The portal Office365 for the domains *.ulisboa.pt has temporarily inhibited the use of several applications out of the cloud.
We hope that the situation normalize within a few days.
