We're observing delays in email delivery in the Germany West Central region. We're investigating this right now. It looks like degraded performance of Exchange Online Protection (EOP). Signatures are added normally.
- investigating Jun 02, 2026, 01:49 PM UTC
We’ve confirmed that the delays are due to degraded availability of Exchange Online Protection in the Germany West Central region and are not related to CodeTwo. We’ve contacted Microsoft and we’re actively monitoring the situation.
- monitoring Jun 02, 2026, 03:15 PM UTC
We’re continuing to monitor the situation. Email signatures are being appended correctly. However, delivery of messages with signatures is still delayed due to an issue with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection servers, which are experiencing degraded performance and are processing messages from our service slower than usual. We can see that the issue is widespread in Germany. Other services that rely on the Exchange Online mail flow pipeline are experiencing similar delays in this region. Microsoft is currently working to resolve the problem, and we are actively monitoring their progress. Thank you for your patience. We’ll provide another update in 90 minutes or sooner if anything changes.
- monitoring Jun 02, 2026, 04:39 PM UTC
We are seeing an improvement in message processing times. This is likely due to lower traffic levels during off-peak hours in Germany. Microsoft continues to investigate the issue. At this time, the problem remains isolated to EOP servers located in the Frankfurt region. Thank you for your patience. We’ll provide another update in 3 hours or sooner if anything changes.

Microsoft reports in EX1331830 that Exchange Online users may experience significant delays or failures when sending and receiving email messages in Exchange Online, with some messages remaining undelivered for over an hour. The impact is currently limited to users in North America and Germany (although we do not see these delays in North America). Microsoft is continuing to analyze the issue and determine next steps. This confirms this is not a CodeTwo infrastructure issue. At the same time, we are observing a significant improvement in server-side mail processing performance in Germany for all CodeTwo users in this region. Queues are now nearly cleared. We continue to monitor the situation. All signatures are added correctly. Thank you for your patience. We’ll provide another update in 3 hours or sooner if anything changes.
- monitoring Jun 02, 2026, 08:24 PM UTC
Microsoft reports in EX1331830 that they are now evaluating targeted service infrastructure resets as a potential mitigation and they're collecting additional diagnostic data to determine the next steps. We continue to observe stable mail flow performance in the Germany West Central region, with no delays in other regions. All signatures are added correctly. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and provide another update in 3 hours or sooner if anything changes.
- resolved Jun 02, 2026, 10:20 PM UTC
Microsoft reports in EX1331830 that their configuration changes have reached approximately 50% of the affected infrastructure and message queues are steadily improving. This is also confirmed by our telemetry. More information can be found in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center under EX1331830 (https://admin.cloud.microsoft/#/servicehealth/:/alerts/EX1331830), if accessible. CodeTwo is and has been operating normally throughout this incident. All emails were delivered with signatures attached. As the issue is no longer affecting our mail flow and is not related to CodeTwo infrastructure, we are resolving it. Our teams will continue to monitor the situation 24/7/365.

We’re investigating an issue affecting email delivery for messages processed by CodeTwo services to apply email signatures. We’re also checking whether this may be related to an Azure DNS problem. Please stay tuned for further updates.
- investigating Mar 18, 2026, 03:52 PM UTC
We’re seeing indications that Azure DNS issues could have affected email flow for some customers using CodeTwo services. DNS appears to be ok again, and several previously affected customers have already confirmed successful email delivery. We’re continuing to investigate to rule out any other causes. No configuration changes or updates were made to our services today.
- investigating Mar 18, 2026, 04:10 PM UTC
Microsoft has acknowledged the issue after receiving reports from multiple organizations. They are investigating on their side as well, but the root cause has not yet been identified. On our side, we are no longer receiving additional reports and all systems appear to be operating normally, but we’ll continue to monitor the situation and carry on with our investigation.
- monitoring Mar 18, 2026, 04:46 PM UTC
It looks like the issue is no longer occurring, but we are continuing to monitor the situation and are still investigating the root cause. Here’s a quick summary of events: 1. Some of our mail processing servers were temporarily unreachable, most likely due to an Azure DNS outage. As a result, some emails sent by our customers (using the cloud-mode for signatures) were rejected with a bounce‑back (NDR) by Exchange Online because our mail processing domain could not be resolved at that moment. 2. Some emails still went through. This happened either because they did not hit the Azure DNS issue (not all messages were affected), or because they were queued by Exchange Online for delivery and Azure DNS came back online before the system generated an NDR. 3. Once DNS became available again, our domain was visible and queued messages could be delivered normally. 4. Nothing in this incident occurred within CodeTwo’s systems. The issue happened entirely before any message reached our service pipeline, which is why our service logs did not show any abnormalities. 5. Emails that did not generate an NDR (did not bounce back) can be assumed to have been delivered successfully. Emails that generated an NDR (bounced back) will need to be resent by the original senders. We are continuing to investigate this issue with Microsoft (who has now confirmed the Exchange Online infrastructure experienced an issue) and are trying to determine why Azure DNS became unavailable for a short period. We'll let you know about the results of that investigation. All CodeTwo services are operating normally.
- resolved Mar 18, 2026, 06:32 PM UTC
We have confirmed that the situation has returned to normal, and Microsoft has acknowledged that the issue originated on the Microsoft 365 side. For now, we are closing this incident, but our 24/7/365 Monitoring Team will continue to keep a close eye on the service. We will share more details in the post‑mortem once Microsoft provides us with their RCA.
- postmortem Apr 27, 2026, 01:07 PM UTC
# Summary On March 18, 2026, a small subset of CodeTwo customers experienced temporary issues with email delivery. The incident was caused by a Microsoft networking and DNS‑related issue within Microsoft 365 infrastructure and was not the result of a failure in the CodeTwo service. # Impact * Only a limited number of customers were affected. * The issue occurred intermittently. * The impact was limited to customers whose mail flow depended on Microsoft 365 services affected by the incident. # Root cause Microsoft confirmed that the incident \(ID MO1255228\) was caused by a temporary issue with their networking infrastructure, where part of the infrastructure intended to handle production traffic was only partially reinstated. This led to DNS and load‑balancing issues, affecting services such as Exchange Online. The incident originated entirely within Microsoft’s infrastructure and was outside of CodeTwo’s control. # Resolution Microsoft manually reinstated the full networking infrastructure and confirmed service health recovery. Following this action, telemetry indicated stable and healthy service operation. # Why CodeTwo was affected CodeTwo services integrate directly with Microsoft 365 and Azure and rely on Microsoft‑managed DNS and networking components. DNS failures at the Microsoft platform level affect all services integrated with Microsoft 365, including third‑party solutions. There is no technically viable way for any Microsoft 365-integrated service to be fully immune to platform‑level DNS or networking failures on Microsoft’s side. # Preventive measures * CodeTwo services are monitored 24/7/365. * We operate redundant and failover‑capable infrastructure. * In case of Microsoft‑side incidents, we take all actions within our control to minimize customer impact, including traffic rerouting where technically possible. Microsoft stated that this type of incident has been extremely rare and committed to improving safeguards to prevent similar events in the future. # Current status Microsoft has confirmed that the affected services were fully restored and operating normally. No further issues related to this incident have been observed.

Microsoft Azure is currently experiencing availability issues in the West US region, which may affect email delivery speed for customers using server-side signature rules. We are currently investigating the problem.
- investigating Feb 07, 2026, 09:24 AM UTC
At this time, we have not received any customer reports related to this issue, but as a precaution, we are failing over to redundant infrastructure within the same region.
- identified Feb 07, 2026, 09:34 AM UTC
After switching over to tertiary infrastructure, Azure is now processing our requests correctly and email delivery speed has returned to normal. Emails that were delayed on the previous two environments should be delivered soon with signatures applied. We are continuing to investigate why the primary Azure resources are unhealthy; however, all new emails are currently being processed through our regional failover services and are being delivered in a timely manner with signatures.
- monitoring Feb 07, 2026, 09:49 AM UTC
The failover infrastructure is operating correctly, and our telemetry indicates that previously delayed emails have now been delivered with signatures applied. The issue appears to be mitigated, however, our 24/7/365 Monitoring Team will continue to closely observe the service. We will switch back to the primary Azure infrastructure once it becomes available. This transition will be transparent to customers and will not cause service interruptions. No customer action is required. We will also work with Microsoft to determine the root cause of the regional service issue.

- investigating Jan 22, 2026, 07:37 PM UTC
We are currently investigating an issue causing email delivery delays for customers whose services are located in the United States data centers. The problem appears to stem from degraded performance of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP). End users sending emails that receive CodeTwo signatures on the server side (Cloud mode) may experience delivery delays, as Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is not processing these messages in a timely manner. This issue is very likely also affecting other Microsoft 365 users who do not use CodeTwo. We are actively investigating the problem and checking whether we can force a failover to other instances that are not impacted by the EOP outage.
- investigating Jan 22, 2026, 07:41 PM UTC
We are seeing that Canadian customers are also affected by the Microsoft Exchange Online Protection outage.

A subset of customers using OWA and the New Outlook are experiencing issues when adding/loading pictures in email signatures via email signature add-ins (such as CodeTwo). Some images load slowly, while others fail to load entirely. We have reproduced the issue in our own CodeTwo production environment for certain users. We are currently in direct contact with the Microsoft product group, and they have confirmed that they are seeing the same problem. The issue is under active, high-priority investigation by Microsoft. Further details are pending, but early findings indicate that the problem is not limited to Add-ins - it also affects OWA and New Outlook clients in general. Initial analysis suggests latency in OAuth as the potential root cause. Please wait for more information. In the meantime, you can: * Choose signatures without pictures for your end-users, or * Use server-side mode, where signatures are added by CodeTwo in the cloud (not via Microsoft add-ins).
- investigating Nov 06, 2025, 04:38 PM UTC
Microsoft is still investigating this issue. So far, we know the problem is related to loading images in OWA and New Outlook and is not specific to add-ins - it affects any type of images in Outlook. Fortunately, the issue is not widespread. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our Support Team (which is available around the clock) while we await Microsoft’s resolution. https://www.codetwo.com/company/contact
- identified Nov 07, 2025, 06:31 AM UTC
We have an update from Microsoft Product Group about this issue: "We suspect the latency issue is caused by high CPU usage regression. That could cause latency issues in uploading image. We already have the reverts done and the fix will deploy via a fast track soon. We need to monitor saturation over the next 24-48 hours." As a reminder: This issue is not related to add-ins. It concerns inline images in general within the New Outlook and OWA and affects a subset of customers globally, regardless of whether they use any signature add-in solution.

Microsoft is currently working to revert changes caused by a faulty DNS configuration, which has led to widespread service disruptions. In response, we have proactively rerouted some of our services away from the affected nodes, successfully bypassing the impacted Azure Front Door infrastructure. At this time, users should be able to access the Signature Management App, although for some, it may take up to 45 minutes for changes to propagate. However, the Admin Panel may still be temporarily unavailable. Our telemetry confirms that email signature imprinting services have remained operational throughout the Microsoft Azure outage and have not been affected.
- monitoring Oct 29, 2025, 07:49 PM UTC
We’re seeing signs of recovery as Microsoft continues working to resolve the DNS configuration issue on their end. Some users are no longer experiencing problems accessing CodeTwo resources, while others may still encounter delays or temporary unavailability when accessing CodeTwo apps. According to Microsoft, the full recovery process on their side may take up to four hours - they are planning to finish by 23:20 UTC on 29 October 2025.
- resolved Oct 30, 2025, 12:07 AM UTC
The issue appears to be resolved now. A bunch of guys were about to turn blue (when we realized Microsoft has messed up the DNS configuration) - we're breathing again. Thank you for your patience and understanding! This was a widespread incident affecting multiple Microsoft resources worldwide. Some of the performance issues we experienced as a result were unavoidable. Nevertheless, we’ll continue to enhance our high availability capabilities to make our are services more resilient to similar problems in the future. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your continued trust and business. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to our Customer Success Team - we’re online 24 hours a day. And yes, our SOC Team also works around the clock, continuously monitoring our services both reactively and proactively.

Microsoft is currently experiencing problems with Exchange Online Protection (EOP). EOP servers appear to have degraded performance and are slow to process emails entering and leaving Microsoft 365 tenants. As a result, some messages processed by CodeTwo may also be delayed while they wait for EOP to scan them before being delivered to final recipients. We have reported the issue to Microsoft and are waiting for a resolution. In the meantime, we have scaled up our services to increase the chances of routing emails through EOP servers that are not affected by this problem. What should you do if you're impacted? Inform your users that email delivery might be delayed (usually by just a few minutes or less) and wait for Microsoft to resolve the issue. Please note that this is a Microsoft-side problem, and it also affects users who are not using CodeTwo or any other smart hosts in the affected region. All signatures are added normally.

Microsoft has confirmed that the issue is on their end. The issue ID is EX1079935. While email delays in Australia are decreasing, we are now seeing the UK region slowly starting to be affected. We anticipated this and have already warmed up failover services to help mitigate the impact as the issue emerges in this region. Our services are continuously retrying to send messages that were previously stuck in queues before reaching the EOP servers so that we can send them through healthy EOP instances. All messages will be delivered with signatures, although some may be delayed.

There’s a problem with our certificate provider (Sectigo), which is currently unable to create new certificates for some customers trying to start a trial subscription. As a result, new users attempting to sign up for our server-side or combo-mode service won’t be able to complete the setup process until the issue is resolved. All existing subscriptions for existing Customers are unaffected. Signatures are being added as normal. We're monitoring the situation. Our Tech Support team is online - feel free to reach out to them if you have any questions.
- monitoring May 18, 2025, 11:42 AM UTC
The issue seems to be resolved, even though our certificate provider hasn't officially confirmed it yet. Our telemetry shows that all certificates are now being issued correctly. All affected customers should no longer experience any problems. Our Support Team will contact each impacted customer to ensure everything is running smoothly. As always, we will continue to monitor the service 24/7/365.

We are getting reports from Customers that Outlook signatures are not working for some users, and the CodeTwo Outlook Addin is missing. The issue affects only a subset of users within impacted tenants. We're investigating the problem together with Microsoft.
- investigating Mar 14, 2025, 11:57 AM UTC
We are continuing to investigate this issue. At this time, we see that the majority of users remain unaffected. Please also note that cloud (server-side) signatures are functioning normally. Therefore, if you are using combo mode and the Addin is not working, signatures will still be added to your emails, but only after they have been sent.
- investigating Mar 14, 2025, 03:33 PM UTC
We have received information from some of the users who experienced this problem that the add-in is visible in Outlook and working again. We are still investigating this issue with Microsoft.
- investigating Mar 14, 2025, 07:21 PM UTC
We are continuing to investigate this issue. Microsoft has now engaged their Outlook and Office extensibility teams in Redmond to assist with the investigation. We can still confirm that the issue is random, affecting only a limited number of tenants and a small number of users within each affected tenant. As a reminder: server-side signatures are functioning normally. Therefore, if you are using combo mode and the add-in is not working, signatures will still be added to your emails, but only after they have been sent. If you have any questions, our Customer Support team can be reached here: https://www.codetwo.com/company/contact

This issue continues to be under investigation. We have noticed that other vendors are reporting similar issues with their Outlook add-ins on their status pages, indicating this might be a Microsoft-related problem. Fortunately, the number of impacted end-users remains very low. Server-side signature rules are functioning normally. Other components are also fully operational.

Microsoft has identified the problem on their end. The issue was caused by incorrect information being written into Microsoft's entitlement caches due to a configuration error on Microsoft's end. Fortunately, the "bleeding" was minor, affecting only a small percentage of users. Microsoft engineers have implemented and deployed a fix to prevent further impact on users. The caches are now being repopulated for end-users who were affected by this issue. Microsoft is confident that the problem will be fully resolved before the business day begins in EMEA on Monday.
- monitoring Mar 17, 2025, 08:06 AM UTC
We are monitoring the results of the fix implemented by Microsoft. Some impacted customers have already confirmed that the fix worked. If affected users still don't see the Add-in, they can try restarting Outlook or OWA, then trigger the Add-in by composing a few new emails.
- resolved Mar 17, 2025, 04:39 PM UTC
Most impacted customers have confirmed that Microsoft's fix has successfully propagated to their Microsoft 365 tenants, and the Add-in is now available again in Outlook/OWA for affected end-users. If any impacted end-users still report that their Add-in is missing, please instruct them to restart or reload Outlook/OWA multiple times and to try composing several new emails to trigger the Add-in. Should the problem persist, contact our Customer Support Team at: https://www.codetwo.com/company/contact. Customer Support will prioritize this issue and respond promptly. Our Monitoring and Development Teams will continue actively monitoring this situation to ensure the issue does not recur. The problem was beyond our control and resulted from incorrect data being written to Microsoft's entitlement caches due to a configuration error on Microsoft's side. According to our telemetry data, approximately 2% of end-users may have experienced this issue. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We will be meeting with Microsoft's engineering and product groups to discuss this issue and recommend preventive measures for the future.
