We have received various reports of delays to Gmail email addresses from our customers. Upon further investigation, it would appear that the Gmail mailservers are deferring most, if not all, email that is relayed to them starting this morning at 10am EST. This has been confirmed via the easyDNS mailservers, and external mailservers maintained by our sysAdmins.
Thankfully, as Gmail is deferring emails, they are not being lost, rather, they are being cached upon the sending mailservers until the admins for Gmail can correct this issue. easyDNS, by default, will retain email for up to five days, and hopefully the Gmail service will not be affected that long.
We shall update this post upon receiving further information, and apologise for the inconvenience.
