   A circa 1:00 PM ET, siamo stati avvisati di rallentare l'elaborazione dei messaggi in Shield. I sintomi sono stati gli aggiornamenti dei messaggi lenti e alcuni ritardi di consegna. Il team ha identificato il collo di bottiglia e risolto il problema. Le code stanno recuperando e le prestazioni sembrano normalizzarsi. Continueremo a monitorare la coda per una risoluzione completa.

   We are currently experiencing an issue with our Microsoft 365 tenant that is preventing us from receiving email replies to our support address. We are working to resolve this. If you need to reach us, please log into the support portal (support.mailprotector.com) and submit or update your request there. Portal submissions are working normally and will reach our team. We will update this notice once email replies are restored.

2. 4 giugno 2026 alle ore 14:55 UTCidentified

   Support tickets and replies from Mailprotector will temporarily originate from a zendesk.com email address rather than our standard mailprotector.com domain. This is an intentional change we made to restore email reply functionality to our ticketing system. Emails arriving from zendesk.com on behalf of Mailprotector Support are legitimate. If your email filtering flags these messages as possible impersonation, they are safe to release and trust. We will update this notice when we return to our standard domain.

3. 5 giugno 2026 alle ore 14:41 UTCresolved

   Support tickets and repllies are back to originating from mailprotector.com. No changes or actions need to be taken. Support emails will resume their normal behavior.

   Microsoft is experiencing intermittent issues with mail flow. Please see their notice for reference. https://admin.cloud.microsoft/#/servicehealth/:/alerts/EX1331830 Mailprotector is monitoring the situation. However, mail flow with CloudFilter and Shield appears to be normal. Please check logs to identify bounces or delays from Microsoft hosts to confirm potential effects from their systems.

2. 3 giugno 2026 alle ore 16:33 UTCidentified

   Microsoft Defender is restricting connectors due to false-positive reports. Please go to Microsoft Defender > Restricted Entities and unblock the listed connectors. (https://security.microsoft.com/restrictedentities) You will need to monitor and check on this restriction for the time being. We have observed that Microsoft restricts the connector after a short time, and the unblock request must be made again. We are continuing to monitor and investigate possible mitigation options.

3. 3 giugno 2026 alle ore 19:26 UTCmonitoring

   Earlier today, Microsoft identified some of Shield's services as suspicious or compromised. This caused emails to bounce or be delayed. As of approximately 2:30 PM ET, the status began to lift, and we observed a return to expected mail flow. A support request has been opened with Microsoft to help us determine how and why this incident happened. We have not received a response yet. We are not closing this issue as resolved. Our intention is to get to the root of the incident. Our first priority was to find a way to resume normal mail flow, and it appears we have done so. We are continuing to monitor the situation, including the Microsoft notice regarding mail flow issues in Exchange Online, which appear to have been resolved.

4. 3 giugno 2026 alle ore 21:12 UTCmonitoring

   We have begun reprocessing and redelivering emails that bounced during the affected time period. Here is what to expect: Most emails should be delivered, but not all of them. Some bounces during the incident may have been legitimate, and those messages will not be recoverable through reprocessing. Duplicates are possible. If a sender resent their email after the incident and the original message is also redelivered through our reprocessing, recipients may receive both. This is expected behavior and not a cause for concern. Reprocessing takes time. We expect this to be completed by midnight ET tonight, though it may finish sooner.

   This incident has been resolved.

1. 1 maggio 2026 alle ore 16:52 UTCresolved

   This morning, a third-party package repository used by our virus scanning infrastructure experienced an outage following an attack on its systems. Because our virus scanning instances rely on this repository at startup to pull the latest files and configurations, affected instances were unable to start. This reduced the capacity of our virus-scanning cluster below demand. When a virus scan cannot complete, our system quarantines the email as a precaution. As a result, emails processed during this window were quarantined rather than delivered to inboxes. No emails were lost. Affected emails can be released from quarantine by users or admins. Resolution The virus scanning cluster has been reconfigured to pull packages directly from the source repository, eliminating the dependency on the third-party intermediary. Monitoring and alerting thresholds have also been updated to surface this class of issue more quickly in the future. The issue is fully resolved.

   We have been made aware that emails sent from Google Workspace accounts via CloudFilter/SafeSend are failing intermittently. There may also be delays in delivering inbound email due to an issue Google is experiencing. If you have a domain affected by this incident, we recommend temporarily disabling the outbound mail routes for Gmail. You may check the status of Google's incident at https://support.cloud.google.com/portal/system-status?product=WORKSPACE&cssp=true

   An update to improve brand-related impersonation attacks was aggressively holding outgoing messages and sending inbound emails to the Junk E-mail folder. The update has been rolled back, and the held outgoing emails have been released. Emails delivered to the Junk E-mail folder must be moved out by users. The aggressive protection was active from approximately 2:00 PM ET to 3:00 PM ET.

2. 26 marzo 2026 alle ore 19:19 UTCmonitoring

   Emails that were delivered to the Jail due to the aggressive behavior of the update have been released. The emails may still end up in the Junk E-mail folder if the risk level is medium or low from a new sender.

3. 26 marzo 2026 alle ore 20:14 UTCresolved

   An update released at approximately 2:00 PM ET today was designed to improve protection against brand impersonation. It behaved more aggressively than intended, holding and jailing legitimate emails, particularly those with signatures containing social media links. The update was rolled back at approximately 2:50 PM ET. This issue is resolved. Actions taken to remediate after rollback: - Inbound emails delivered to Junk have been reprocessed to ensure appropriate risk and moved to the Inbox. - Released jailed emails; they may still land in Junk if the sender is new or carries a medium risk level. - Outgoing emails that were held have been released. No action needed.

   A modification to handling ARC seal authentication was deployed late yesterday evening to handle an outlier situation observed over the past few months. The modification created a mail loop in specific messages that were missing some ARC seal authentication information in the headers. This specific situation caused the emails to look up the MX record for delivery, and those domains with a Shield MX record caused the email to loop. A fix for this situation was deployed shortly after the mail loop was detected. The fix now accounts for the rare circumstances involving the ARC seal and will gracefully handle mail delivery.

   We are investigating an issue causing email delivery performance.

2. 26 agosto 2025 alle ore 16:38 UTCidentified

   The issue has been isolated, and resources are being reallocated to empty the email delivery queue as quickly as possible.

3. 26 agosto 2025 alle ore 20:24 UTCmonitoring

   The team has resolved email delivery performance, and inbound messages have been arriving as expected since about 1:00 PM ET. However, the issue is still monitored as API-related actions (sender training, message moves, etc.) and logs catch up. Please be aware that emails may sit in a folder a little longer than expected, and Spotlight logs may display an incorrect email location while the database catches up on activity. We expect the issue to be resolved entirely this evening.

   Mailprotector is aware of intermittent bounces of inbound emails to Microsoft 365 domains. The bounces reference one of two reasons: "banned sending IP" or "blocked using Spamhaus." In both cases, Microsoft and Spamhaus do not indicate that the IP addresses are blocked when a delist request is made. Mailprotector has two open and active support requests with Microsoft to explain and resolve the situation. Mailprotector has been attempting to resolve the issue with Microsoft for over a week. Unfortunately, we have seen increased bounces in the last 24 hours. Partners and users may click on the delist links in the bounce notification. However, the delist will reply that the IP addresses are not listed. It is important to note that this is not an outbound reputation issue. Microsoft is randomly rejecting emails from IP addresses that only relay inbound emails after being filtered. The IP addresses are added to the recommended inbound connector for M365 deployments.

2. 29 aprile 2025 alle ore 20:21 UTCidentified

   Bounces over the last 7 days have subsided, but an increase has been observed today, April 29. The number of bounces is tiny; however, we know a single bounce can frustrate a customer. Communication with Microsoft was escalated last week, and we await more information.

3. 2 maggio 2025 alle ore 13:35 UTCmonitoring

   Since April 30, little to no bounces have been observed. We are continuing to monitor the situation and waiting for Microsoft's response to explain the reason and a permanent resolution.

4. 5 maggio 2025 alle ore 13:56 UTCresolved

   Since April 29, there have been unnoticeable bounces. While we cannot be certain that Microsoft will not repeat the issue, the status is considered resolved at this time. If you receive a bounce for "banned sending IP" or "blocked using Spamhaus", please open a support request.
