Currently not being able to receive email on any of my aliases. There's also no indication emails do not reach their destination (no bounced emails so far). Very curios if the email will ultimately be delivered after a resolution is found.

Not an ideal situation.

I do not have an account with them but try sending yourself an email from a machine that has FCrDNS and see if the error message is 4xx or 5xx. If 4xx most mail servers will keep the emails in the queue for 2 to 7 days depending on the platform, their volume and other factors. One common exception would be apps just trying to notify you to check something, may or may not have implemented a queue. If the error is in the 5xx range the server is saying the error does not require retrying the message. The specific error message may also give a clue as to what is going on.

I was wondering why my email verifications are not being delivered, but couldn’t find the system status link on their homepage. Then I came to HN…
