If you haven’t been receiving notifications from us in the last few days, you better visit Twitter’s web version and verify that you don’t see the above message. If you do see it, please choose the option to “try sending message to your email address again”.

To those of you who are curious why do you even see this message — well, a few days ago our hosting provider had an hour outage due to network failure. If Twitter tried sending you a notification at this time, it would appear to them as if your email address isn’t working.

Obviously, we’re taking measures to make sure that this won’t happen again.

It appears that it wasn’t our fault at all — one of Twitter’s email sending servers was marked for spam, and therefore our servers were rejecting it. We have now whitelisted that server and it shouldn’t (hopefully) happen again.

Thank you for your understanding.
