The behaviour I see is inconsistent because apparently my DAV clients when logging on get a complete list of all available calendars and address books but cannot sync from / to them. It seems specific HTTP verbs are being blocked. Also, one DAV client is being let through whereas another client is not, from the same network with the same public IPv4 address.

Not sure if the most recent update of DAVx5 broke sync on Android 9. The device not working is on Android 9, the one that works is on Android 11.

My traffic originates from AS6805 and 77.8.0.0/15.

I have the same issue as well, mail works for me but not the CardDAV.

According to the Fastmail Status page the DDOS attack is still impacting things. https://www.fastmailstatus.com/

I had a flood of email this morning between 06:14 & 06:24 much of which I know was delayed by many hours.

It' now 08:00 BST and I have received no emails since 06:25 which is most unusual, so I suspect that matters are still not yet resolved.

I have delays to receiving/sending email too and problems loading images.
Really disappointed that FastMail is taking so long to resolve these issues.

I wonder if they are having staffing problems like alot are now...........

I am in the Dallas Texas area. Four days ago (when the DDOS distributed denial of service extortion attack on several email providers started), I was unable to access Fastmail services erratically for a couple of days. But the last couple of days Fastmail has been solid here, with no difficulties.

This is a DDOS attack on several providers, and in these cases the attack often floods the network ISP connections used by Fastmail with a huge number of data packets, or they attack the DNS system to prevent network address resolution. Based on previous DDOS attack public reports by Fastmail staff, they have a robust system with equipment and procedure which will block most such attacks. But it's impossible for them to fully block all such attacks. The current internet is not robust when under a determined attack by criminals.

This has been my experience too, here in US Pacific NW. Although, like mentioned by evfrson earlier, I'm still having issues with images not loading, or loading very slowly, in the webmail UI. (Not a big deal for me.)

Hopefully just a temporary glitch, but here in Northern California I can't access FM website - which I tried to do because IMAP is not working in The Bat!

NJSS · 1 Nov 2021, 01:41 AM

FM down again here in the UK for at least the last 15 minutes - 17:35 GMT.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.fastmail.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.

I cannot get access to webmail through POBox.Com as they are now using the FM servers.

It really would help if FM & POBox used different servers - please.

We are currently experiencing network issues that may cause Fastmail to be unavailable; we are investigating and hope to be back online soon.

Chipper · 1 Nov 2021, 02:25 AM

Down for me also. At least 30 minutes.

Current Time:
* 2:25 PM USA (EST)
* 6:25 PM GMT

evfrson · 1 Nov 2021, 02:44 AM

According to Twitter it's another DDOS attack 🤔

Webgenie · 1 Nov 2021, 02:52 AM

Sad. But I have to say that it appears that Fastmail is on it and working to get things back to normal. I appreciate that.

IMAP is working with Thunderbird on my desktop and Aquamail on my Android phone. Seems like it's the web apps that are down.

NJSS · 1 Nov 2021, 03:02 AM

I can check spam at POBox, but not my webmail - very frustrating.
