CIT is working with Microsoft to resolve the issue. | Our preliminary investigation has determined impact is being caused by a load balancing configuration issue. This occurs when a call to validate inbound mail is received. This call is being duplicated, creating a spike in utilization. We're working to restore the underlying database infrastructure to remediate impact. | 2021-04-22 | 16:22:20 |
