Outbound emails delayed due to email provider
Incident Report for Dixa
Postmortem

On Monday the 8th of March 2021, 11:50 pm CEST / 5:50 pm EST we started getting alerts and seeing that our outbound emails were being delayed by our carrier. It didn’t cause any disruption to work for agents in Dixa, as the outbound emails were just added to a queue, and successfully sent later.  

After investigation, the root cause was due to an email that was in an everlasting loop which caused our email provider to experience delays handling the load. 

The issue was resolved on Tuesday the 9th at 02:49 pm CEST / 08:49 am EST. 

We performed a Root Cause Analysis of this incident and are implementing solutions in order to prevent such instances from happening in the future. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
