SMTP (USA)

Resolved in under a minute

Our US SMTP service was temporarily blocked by Microsoft due to a spam outbreak from one of our customer accounts. The outbreak has been secured and Microsoft states that the block has been lifted, but that it may take up to 24 hours for the change to take full effect in their systems. (17:09 UTC — Jan 26)
