Slow logins on US SMTP

August 18, 2022 at 9:21 PM UTC

SMTP (USA)

Resolved after 7h 22m August 19, 2022 at 4:43 AM UTC

Fixed - The US SMTP server has remained stable following the upgrade and improved configuration. (04:43 UTC — Aug 19)

Watching - We’ve implemented a fix and authentication is working normally at this time. We’ll continue to monitor. (01:49 UTC — Aug 19)

Watching - The original US SMTP is back online. We’ll continue to troubleshoot and monitor. (00:36 UTC — Aug 19)

Identified - We’ve taken the original US SMTP offline for an emergency upgrade. (00:25 UTC — Aug 19)

Watching - The second server is online and is slowly picking up its share of the traffic.

We’ll continue to monitor until we’re satisfied that this issue is resolved. (23:21 UTC — Aug 18)

Identified - We believe the issue is higher-than-average mail traffic, so we’re adding a SMTP server to the pool to take up some of the load. (22:43 UTC — Aug 18)

At this time logins to Opalstack’s US SMTP server are running slowly. Customers may see longer message sending times as a result.

We’re investigating the issue and will update this post when more info is available. (21:21 UTC — Aug 18)
