mail.blacknight.com / smtpr1.cp.blacknight.com mail delivery delays

Message

Summary: We're noticing some strange behaviour in the mail system right now. For no reason at all the load balancer is not putting connections through to the mail server on port 25. We're currently investigating this and hope to fix it shortly.

Additionally there is around 6k or so mails in the "local" delivery queue. Which means that inbound e-mail delivery is slower than normal. Again we're investigating this issue but it may be related to the issue mentioned above.

We will post further updates on this when the information is available to us.
