Microsoft has reported that mitigation for incident EX1467029 is being applied, and we are seeing a significant reduction in the number of “Server busy” responses from Microsoft. Some delivery attempts to Microsoft recipients are still being deferred, and messages affected earlier in the incident remain queued for retry. SocketLabs will continue retrying these messages automatically in accordance with normal delivery procedures. As Microsoft service continues to recover, we expect delayed messages to be delivered over time. We will continue monitoring delivery performance and Microsoft’s status updates.
