A change made to how Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall parses incoming requests caused Cloudflare's network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This change was deployed by Cloudflare's team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components. CloudFlare has issued a detailed statement on this matter here: [https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage/](https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage/)
We are currently experiencing a throttling of our email server in the UK2 datacenter, which may cause delays in sending outgoing emails. This is caused by multiple customers not configuring their SPF record correctly to include spf.topdesk.net Our support team is actively contacting these customers to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. In the meantime, but also in general, we recommend using your own mail server for outgoing emails, rather than the TOPdesk mail server, to help ensure timely delivery. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. To inform TOPdesk you are affected by this issue, please visit My TOPdesk.
We are continuing to investigate this issue.
The email delivery issue in our UK2 datacenter has been resolved, and the mail queue is back to normal levels. The issue was related to outgoing emails sent from custom domains without the necessary SPF record configuration. To prevent similar issues in the future and ensure timely delivery, we recommend configuring your SPF records to include spf.topdesk.net if you use the TOPdesk mail server. Alternatively, using your own mail server for outgoing emails is also advised. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
On September 11, 2025, our UK2 datacenter experienced email delivery delays, due to multiple customers, including a high-volume one, missing the required SPF record. This misconfiguration led to our outgoing email server being throttled, resulting in minor delays for some customers. The issue was quickly resolved by our support team proactively reaching out to all customers without SPF records to recommend proper configuration and temporarily disabling mail functionality for the high-volume customer. To prevent recurrence, we advise all customers to use their own mail server for outgoing email or to ensure correct SPF configuration.

We are pleased to let you know that the cause of the issue has been identified. A fix was directly made and rolled out. The imports should be working as normal again. We will monitor this major for a few hours more. If the issue remains resolved, we will close the Major around 17.00 hrs CEST. We apologize again for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
As communicated earlier this afternoon, we will now close the major. The disruptions that you have experienced today were caused by a dependency update of a library used in the mail import. This caused connections to Microsoft Exchange servers to fail. This was resolved by downgrading the version of the library. To prevent further issues, the problematic update will not be applied. We apologize again for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Our engineers are investigating networking issues in the EU1 hosting location. We have opened a support ticket with Microsoft. While some customers can access their environments again, our monitoring still indicates ongoing problems.
Mail import and file uploads may be affected by this major disruption. Some systems have been restarted, and overall system health is improving.
All customer environments, including mail import and file uploads, are now operational. We will continue monitoring the situation and plan to close the incident after successful verification. A root cause analysis (RCA) will be completed and published on the status page. Customers still experiencing issues should contact support.
The EU1 hosting disruption has been resolved. All environments are operating normally, and no further issues have been detected. An RCA will be published once the investigation is complete.
The major incident was caused by intermittent connection issues between the Kubernetes Service Cluster and the TOPdesk application. These connectivity problems led to disrupted access for customer environments, affecting critical services such as file uploads and mail import. Investigation revealed that the underlying issue originated from unstable communication with the application server, specifically related to the handling of temporary data. Although a restart of the affected components resolved the problem, we have identified the need to improve our monitoring. Going forward, we will enhance our monitoring to detect any issues related to temporary data sooner and minimize customer impact.

We thank you for your patience and apologize again for the inconvenience.
