Friday and Ocean are both up and running. The DDOS attack continues, but is actively being mitigated. There may be a very small amount of collateral damage to users who unintentionally send excessive failed connections to the SMTP server, which may lump them in with attackers as we're mitigating it. With the alternative being a complete outage, that seems to be an acceptable trade-off.

The Friday server is under control. Working on Ocean.

This is a pretty incredible DDOS attack. Working on it, but the attacker on the other side appears to be working on compensating for my mitigation at about the same pace.
