Microsoft has restored external email delivery to University accounts.

All emails that were held in a queue have now been delivered.

If you were expecting to receive a message from an external sender and it has not arrived, please contact them and ask them to send it again. Senders should have received a bounceback message saying their mail was undeliverable during the service outage, but they may not have received it if their email service was also affected by the outage.

We regret any inconvenience caused by this service outage.
