Since about 6:30 PM ET we have been seeing delayed delivery of incoming email for Email Defense customers.  We have notified our provider and are waiting for an update.  We will update this post with more information when we have it.

UPDATED 9:40 PM ET: Our testing has indicated the delays are back to seconds like they should be and the backlog of mail has been--or is in the process of being--delivered. We'll continue to monitor this.

UPDATED 8:15 AM ET, 3/9/07: Our monitoring throughout the night confirmed the delays have been resolved and backlogged mail was delivered shortly after 9:40 PM ET last night.
