Inbound email
When it rains it pours.
We have located another issue with one of the primary MX cluster members, and the way another member uses DNS - these occured over night (19th-20th November).
These have been addressed, and we are seeing mail processing in at an expected rate given the time of day.
Please do keep in mind the way the mail RFC's work, and that unless you have asked the admin at the other end to force a flush, mails retry with a logarithmic delay, so be patient, and new mail may arrive before ones sent less recently. This is the way it is meant to work to assist with resilience and spread the load.
We are sorry for the delays, and are happy to say that there are now no issues.
