Postal Service Back to Normal After Electronic Glitch Fixed
The U.S. Postal Service says it’s fixed the electronic glitch that had disrupted some services — and that everything is back to normal.
Spokesman David Partenheimer says in an email that the agency’s communication network was restored Friday night.
“Postal Service back up,” he says.
A network outage had affected some postal functions from late Thursday through Friday, including package handling at some local post offices. The problem brought down the agency’s email system across the country.
The Postal Service says the trouble resulted from a hardware installation Thursday.
The outage did not affect the acceptance of mail, or mail processing or delivery.

USPS experienced a similar issue in October 2012 but USPS.com and related applications were all unavailable:
We are currently experiencing a temporary widespread network outage and our Network team is addressing the issue.
The outage did not affect the acceptance of mail, or mail processing or delivery.
All it did was put a lot of “pencil pushers” out of work for a day or so.
The core of this business needs to be brought back to the front! Accept, process and deliver mail!
Screw the numbers!
