Outage in No-IP

Alternate port SMTP delivery problems

Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

No-IP's alternate port SMTP service experienced delivery failures for approximately 3.7 hours due to a routing problem affecting part of the mail server network. A temporary reroute was applied as a workaround, though mail sent to group addresses or forwards remained at risk of bouncing during this period. Connectivity was restored and the queue backlog cleared, with all systems confirmed operational by resolution.

We are seeing delivery problems on our alternate port SMTP service. The cause is a routing problem affecting part of the network our mail servers send from. Our team is working on a fix. We have a temporary reroute in place to keep traffic moving while we sort out the underlying problem. One known limitation: mail sent to a group address or through a forward may still bounce, depending on how the receiving side is configured. We will post an update here as soon as we know more.
