DDoS attack against our services

Ongoing

It now looks like this is a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on our servers and affecting others as a side effect. Our Internet connection providers are now attempting to mitigate the attack.

Initial evidence suggests a network issue outside our network causing connectivity problems to a number of services, not just Runbox. We'll post more when we have a full update. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Incoming mail delivery delays

The problem was caused by an incorrect configuration syntax when blocking incoming phishing to protect customers' email accounts. This caused incoming email to be temporarily rejected, causing significant delays on legitimate messages. After correcting the error, all email was delivered normally to their recipients.

We apologize for the problems this has caused our customers, and have taken steps to prevent this from occurring again in the future.
2026-07-24T08:40:53Z
We have identified the issue and the situation is beginning to normalise.
2026-07-24T08:05:52Z
We are currently looking in to why there are incoming mail delivery delays.

This situation is now resolved. It was caused by a system that was unable to look up details for domains and then deactivating them in our system. We are looking in to changing the logic in this system so that this doesn't happen again. Apologies again for the inconvenience caused.
