 Delays with email delivery

Description

UMSL has received reports of delays affecting incoming email messages to @umsl.edu, @umsystem.edu, and other UM campus addresses, particularly from senders outside the university.  You may receive messages that were delayed by several hours, but ITS expects that all messages have been queued by the affected service provider, and should be delivered as soon as possible.  Messages sent between university students, faculty, and staff accounts are not expected to experience the same delays as outside senders, particularly if both sender and receiver are using Microsoft 365 email.

 Outlook Web Access (OWA) – Intermittent Login Issues

Description

We are receiving reports that some users are experiencing intermittent login issues when attempting to login to Outlook Web Access (https://owa.umsl.edu/). Clearing the browser cache or restarting the browser may resolve the issue, however, the UM System Exchange messaging team has opened a case with Microsoft to investigate potential service issues. We will provide updates as we get more information from the vendor.

 Student Mailbox Delivery Issues

Description

Update: Most student email services and mail delivery issues should now be resolved. If you continue to see issues, please contact the Technology Support Ceneter, https://help.umsl.edu

 

The UM System AD and Messaging team have received reports that some student mailbox users are unable to receive mail after the M365 object class change and move to the Active Sync OU yesterday.

Initial investigation has shown an issue with our Azure AD Connect server where attribute changes may have stopped replicating to Azure. The team rebooted the server around 9:15 AM this morning, which should kickstart any attribute changes that need to be updated in Azure, including the remote routing address that is needed to route mail from Exchange to Exchange Online. Any password changes in AD that need to replicate to the cloud services will also be affected.

We will provide additional updates as soon as more information is made available

 Intermittent Email Issues

Description

*UPDATE:  UM System IT has resolved the email issues.

 

Currently 9 of the 168 Exchange email databases are in an offline state. Users that are homed on these databases will be unable to connect to Exchange until the issue is resolved. UM System IT Messaging technicians have opened a case with Microsoft to determine root cause and find a resolution.

Technicians are continuing to work with the vendor to restore the affected databases. We anticipate service restoration for users as databases are returned to normal service.
We will provide more updates as more information becomes available.
