Over the weekend, a small pool of inbound gateway servers bounced incoming emails to CloudFilter because of a database connection issue. The NDR message indicates: The response from your-domain-com.inbound.emailservice.io was: 5.7.1 [email protected]: Recipient address rejected: Access denied The team responded and resolved the issue quickly. Fortunately, weekends have a comparatively low email volume. However, if a user was expecting an email and did not receive it, they may need to request the sender to retry sending it. A thorough investigation of the incident is being performed, and the issue will be adjusted, monitored, and mitigated for the future.
