Month: June 2020

Early this morning we became aware of an issue with certain mail clients and operating systems that were unable to communicate with our mailserver.

The issue predominantly impacted older operating systems using non-modern security protocols. We have restored the functionality of these protocols, and your email should now be functional. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please restart your mail client if you continue to have issues. If problems persist, update to the newest version of your operating system for numerous functional enhancements and upgraded security.
