On: Google outage – resolved

Google is also rejecting SMTP ingress traffic.

(delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with aspmx.l.google.com[2a00:1450:400c:c04::1b] while sending DATA command)

That is Really Bad™.

People are going to miss critical emails with no recovery.

[rasguanabana → Andrex]

Fortunately email was designed back in a day when mail servers could fail. Don’t worry - proper SMTP servers will retry patiently.

These are temporary deferrals, a properly configured outbound mailserver should retry for days.

[bartvk → Andrex]

Emails will be delayed but sending SMTP servers have a retry mechanism up to a few days.
