May 2026: Delayed email delivery to Gmail recipients
Recruitee experienced delayed email delivery to Gmail and Google Workspace addresses for 19.6 hours due to a configuration update that triggered Gmail's rate limiting. The issue affected only Gmail recipients while other email providers (Outlook, custom domains) continued to receive emails normally. The incident was resolved by working with the email provider to restore delivery performance and rebuild sender reputation, with emails continuing to retry automatically during the outage.
