I've currently disabled new account creation for trioptimum.com E-mail. Let me explain why.
Google has made some major changes to their free Google-Hosted E-mail offerings, upon which the @trioptimum.com E-mail service relies.
The first is that they've now limited free service to 50 accounts. This doesn't really hurt us yet, since they've grandfathered in anyone who had pre-existing accounts, and luckily enough I requested they bump us up from 300 to 600 accounts right before this policy change was made, and I'm still able to create new users. We've currently got 323 users.
The more significant impact right now (and the reason I've suspended account creation) is because one feature they took away from the free service is the automated account creation process. I used to paste those username,firstname,lastname.password lines you E-mailed me into a .CVS file which I would then upload via the web gui and voila! Well, They won't let me do that anymore. I have to manually type the fields into boxes and make a bunch of mouse clicks for each account.
The difference between the free service and the next step up is called "Premium Service." I love you guys and all, but I'm not paying $50 per user per year for you. It just ain't happening.
The existing accounts aren't going away, but going forward someone else is going to have to step-up and help create new accounts.

Well that sucks.
Having to manually enter in stuff...is that really a massive effort? Considering we get new apps only once in a blue moon?
I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything (I really love my account).
Also, I'd be up for updating the w/e but maybe someone with experience would step up.

That's the first thing I thought of too, but I was still curious.
EDIT: nvm did a Google search and he has a DA page for it, it does mean the Nebulon-B2.

Google gave us the bulk-update tool back, so I can reinstate new account creation.
