    Hi All,

    Just wondering if others are seeing issues with email for
    delivery to Outlook 365 queuing up with "4.7.500 Server busy.
    Please try again later" messages?

    Our mail queue has been getting progressively larger since about
    10am WAST today and of course the MS outage site shows no issues,
    though some of the down detector sites how others seem to be
    having issues.
