Update
We would like to provide a further update on this incident. Over the past couple of days we have experienced email delivery issues affecting customers that were using our anti-spam solution.
The core issue through 'Spam Experts' has not yet been resolved and is still being investigated, however yesterday afternoon we had made an executive decision to disable all users that were using this anti-spam solution to allow the delivery of emails to customer mailboxes.
The downside of this is that customers may notice higher than usual amounts of spam coming into their inboxes, however we hope you can be patient during this period until we have resolved the core issue with Spam Experts and re-enable the anti-spam software.
Further updates will follow once they are available.

Monitoring
We would like to advise that a fix has been put into place with our Spam Expert software. Currently the server is trying to process a large backlog of emails that are queued on the server which will result in delays to mail delivery.
As an interim solution to avoid these email delays, you can bypass the spam expert server by changing your MX records to the following:
We thank you for your patience during this period.

Update
A temporary fix has been identified for this issue. Customers can disable their spam filters and wait for the changes to propagate.
All clients affected by this problem should be able to resolve it by using the MX records - this seems to be an issue with our Spam Expert environment so those affected will need to stop using the Spam Expert service by changing MX records to the below:
mx2.netregistry.net mx3.netregistry.net
This should restore the ability to receive emails while our system admins look for a permanent fix. We appreciate your ongoing patience.
