Resolved MinorIncident Report
Summary AI Generated
SMTP2GO experienced a 24.2-hour service disruption affecting email delivery to Microsoft-hosted domains (hotmail.com, outlook.com, live.com, etc.), with emails showing as "Processed" but failing delivery with "451 4.7.650" error responses. The issue was caused by a global Microsoft-wide problem that affected multiple email service providers, not a fault with SMTP2GO's systems. The incident was resolved once Microsoft fixed the underlying issue on their end.
We are currently aware of a global issue affecting emails sent to Microsoft-hosted domains (such as hotmail.com, outlook.com, live.com, etc.). Emails affected will show as "Processed" on the "Reports > Activity" page, and delivery attempts encounter "451 4.7.650……….." responses. This is a Microsoft-wide issue affecting multiple SMTP providers/ESPs, and we are monitoring it closely as they actively work on a fix. Thanks for your patience.
