Microsoft has confirmed mitigations on their side, but we're still seeing blocks. These happen when Microsoft detects traffic it considers higher than expected and applies restrictions outside of our control. Our engineering team is actively working to optimise mail flows and reduce the chance of these blocks. We're in regular contact with Microsoft to push for a lasting fix, and this remains a top priority.

The affected IP address has been unblocked. Now that service has been restored and the IP address's reputation is being re-established, it may take up to 24–48 hours for the change to fully propagate across our systems. During this time, some email sending limits may still remain in effect. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
