Services have been restored and we are investigating the underlying cause. No mail has been lost. Thanks for your patience.

Great to see that FM is back up in a reasonable amount of time, but it reminds me again why using one of the smaller providers as your main email service is a bit risky considering the number of outages we see. FM is obviously one of the biggest and most professional providers, and yet they can still be taken down by a DDOS attack if that is the reason. It is not hard to imagine what could happen to one of the many very small providers. Even if they ultimately survive the attack because they utilize major service providers it can be really bad to lose critical email for even a few hours.
