Update timeline

  1. investigating Oct 11, 2023, 03:31 AM UTC

    We are seeing delays in relaying emails from our system through to Microsoft 365 Exchange Online. Typically your photocopier may use this service. We are currently investigating and will provide an update shortly.

  2. identified Oct 11, 2023, 09:43 AM UTC

    We have identified the issue. Microsoft’s spam filters have classified our relay incorrectly and are throttling connections from it. If we manage your Microsoft 365 services, we are implementing a workaround within your service to bypass this issue. We will continue to work with Microsoft to get a permanent resolution. Note this issue only affects delivery of email to customers using Microsoft’s Exchange Online platform.
