We are happy to report that the issue causing delays with rate confirmation emails has now been fully resolved, and normal processing and delivery have been restored. The root cause was identified as a major email reputation and blocklist service inadvertently marking certain outbound emails from our email provider as spam. This led to temporary delivery issues and processing backlogs for confirmations. Our team worked quickly to address the underlying filtering problem in coordination with the involved services, ensuring clean delivery resumed. As an added safeguard, we have implemented a secondary email delivery pathway we can leverage in the event we see the problem in the future.
