What to do

  • Check whether you use Front SMTP (non-Gmail / O365). Check your stack

    Paste a package.json, lockfile, Terraform or a list of domains at down.guide/stack to see every provider you depend on.
  • Confirm your retries, queues and scheduled jobs caught up after the 2h 3m it lasted.

    Anything that failed between 2026-10-05 07:42 UTC and 2026-10-05 09:45 UTC may need a replay.
