There are a moderate number of reports of outages for services across the US right now including Hulu, PlayStation Network, Claude, Xbox Live, Chase Bank, and many others. Users from some locations may be experiencing the same problem when connecting to our US servers due to what appears to be an issue with Cogent in the US. This is not within our control, and impacts a noteworthy amount of the internet. Just enough, mind you, that you might think everything is okay and it's just us. It's not, unfortunately. As always, we prefer problems that are ours because those are problems we can solve. This doesn't appear to be.

This morning we experienced an issue with DNS resolvers on our outbound relays which caused 13,964 outbound emails to be delayed on their path to Google/Gmail. This issue may have added anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes in delay. To give you an idea of the scope of this, 68,522 emails were successfully delivered to Google/Gmail without delay during the same time period. So while it was far from every email, it was not insignificant. This has been resolved.

It looks like there is a massive internet routing issue at the moment. Cogent and Arelion look like the culprits from where we sit, but this is a pretty early report of the issue so take it with a grain of salt. Kind of feels like someone just fucked half of the internet at once. Expect to see an issue reaching our servers, as well as a lot of other servers. Just because you can reach Google doesn't mean your internet isn't taking a beating
