## Updates from SourceHut
### 2021-01-31 10:30 UTC: resolved
One of our third-party DNSBL services, SpamCop, allowed their domain to
expire , presumably as a mistake, and began to return “listed” for all DNSBL
checks. We use a DNSBL as an early rejection for spam emails, and this caused
21 incoming emails to be wrongfully rejected. We have removed SpamCop from our
list of DNSBLs and filed a ticket to improve our
monitoring so that we may catch this
sooner. Incoming emails are working now, but be advised that if your postmaster
uses SpamCop, emails from Sourcehut will likely be rejected until the issue is
resolved.
