We are seeing connection issues for a few Microsoft O365 custom mailboxes. This is due to an issue at Microsoft's end because of which, even though our services are up and running, the outgoing emails sent from a few custom mailboxes are affected. We are getting the following response from MS O365 while attempting to connect to the mailboxes: 535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Tenant. Visit https:\/\/aka.ms\/smtp_auth_disabled for more information. We are awaiting more details from Microsoft
