Cool Tool: Email Provider Status from Groups.io


Groups.io is a provider of email discussion group hosting that has been around a good long while (launched in 2014) and serves up rather a lot of email. That gives them insight into delivery delays and connection problems relating to internet service providers and mailbox providers both big and small -- the places where their users and those users' community members host their own mailboxes, and from where they communicate with each other, using the platform and tools provided by Groups.io.

They have kindly shared a dashboard showing the current delivery status with retry rates, latency, and reasons for delays, for eight large mailbox providers: Apple iCloud, Comcast Xfinity, GMX / Web.de, Google Mail (Gmail), Microsoft 365, Outlook / Hotmail, Spectrum / Charter, and Yahoo / AOL.

Head on over to Groups.io's Email Provider Status page to check it out for yourself.

This is a great pulse check that allows you to determine if the current SMTP delivery delays you are receiving are truly "just you" or if there is a chance that something bigger is happening with one of the places you're sending mail to.

THANK You, Groups.io, for putting this together and sharing it with the world!

[ H/T: Too many to list; lots of folks have shared this link with me, and on various Slack communities, and on Linkedin. Thank you all! ]
