Resolved: E-mail delays expected going to hotmail.com and live.com addresses

Last updated on January 16, 2009 at 6:07AM

Information Technology Services (ITS) has become aware that some e-mail messages being sent to @hotmail.com and @live.com via smtp.psu.edu are being delayed for up to 55 hours. Customers who receive a failed relay notification from hotmail.com and/or live.com will not need to resend these messages. The messages will be delivered when the block is lifted. The reason for the delay is due to Penn State customers replying to phishing scam e-mail messages as referenced in the ITS Alert at http://alerts.its.psu.edu/alert-786 for details.
