    We're seeing deferred email deliveries to Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online). Microsoft is returning a temporary error on inbound connections. Messages are queued by the sender's mail servers and will be retried automatically. Once Microsoft's service recovers, the messages should be delivered—no action needed from you. We're monitoring and will update when normal delivery resumes. More info on Microsoft global status: status.cloud.microsoft
