MailChannels incident

Service Connectivity

Resolved after 1 day 2 hours, affecting SMTP Service and SMTP Service, on January 9, 2024.

monitoring Jan 09, 2024, 10:02 PM UTC

MailChannels entered an incorrect field into a DNSSEC DS record for mailchannels.net, causing name resolution errors. The incorrect DS record was promptly removed from the DNS; however, because of DNS caching, it may take some time for this change to propagate to the entire DNS. Please purge any DS records for mailchannels.net; our registrar (GoDaddy) is already publishing the correct record set and this should bring things back into operation. We are continuing to monitor this.
