RESOLVED – Updated 12/9/16 – Flexmls email delivery issues — att.net and sbcglobal.net Update 12/9 8:19 AM: Our vendor FBS states “After monitoring email delivery for the last day, we believe this issue to be completely resolved. Thanks for your patience, and our apologies for the inconvenience that this has caused” Update 12/8 10:12 AM: Our vendor FBS states “AT&T has processed our block removal request, and they began accepting our emails at around 6pm Central on Dec 7th. We’re currently monitoring the situation to make sure that they continue to be delivered as expected, and will resolve this issue once we are comfortable that all of the issues have completely cleared up.” Update 12/7 3:30pm: We’ve determined that there are some other domains under the AT&T’s control that are also affected. The complete list of affected domains is as follows: At this time, we’re still waiting on a response from AT&T regarding this issue, so don’t have an ETA on a resolution. We’ll update this incident when we receive more information.
Previous Updates: Following the Dec 2nd issues that delayed the sending of Flexmls email notifications, AT&T’s email systems detected the change in our mail sending pattern/schedule, and automatically blocked all emails that are coming from our servers. This affects the majority of emails that are being sent to recipients with addresses on the att.net and sbcglobal.net domains. A recommended solution would be to check if your client has a secondary email address other than att.net or sbcglobal.net. The vendor of Flexmls, FBS, detected this issue and reached out to AT&T on the morning of Dec 5th, and are awaiting a response from their postmaster team.
