What Exclaimer is reporting

Affected: EU: Server-Side: Mail Routing – Office 365, US: Server-Side: Mail Routing – Office 365, CA: Server-Side: Mail Routing – Office 365, UAE: Server-Side: Mail Routing – Office 365, AU: Server-Side: Mail Routing – Office 365, UK: Server-Side: Mail Routing – Office 365, DE: Server-Side: Mail Routing – Office 365

Microsoft has advised that it is seeing 'early signs of stabilization' after its last attempted resolution, but noted that service has not yet returned to normal levels. You can follow Microsoft’s progress under EX1550543 and MO1550821 in the Microsoft 365 admin center, or at https://status.cloud.microsoft/

Exclaimer Engineers are continuing to monitor the issue closely for any changes or any actions we can take and to reduce further delays once the impact to Exchange Online has been resolved.

What this means for you:

– No action is needed from you at this time. Once we have the email, we will be able to apply a signature as expected, provided the Exclaimer Rule is still enabled within Exchange Online.

– Delayed emails are not lost. They are currently being retried automatically and will be delivered as soon as possible. You may see a burst of delayed mail arriving at once during the day.

– Microsoft is giving emails more time to try to be sent after the issue, this means any messages you tried to send before will likely still be delivered even if they were sent when the issues began. Resending can lead to duplicates when the original messages are delivered.

What you can do now

  • Check whether the problem is on your side: try another device or network, or the web version of the app.
  • Avoid changing settings or reinstalling while Exclaimer is working on a fix. It usually does not help and can slow down recovery.
  • Let your team know, and use a backup channel such as phone or text for urgent work.
  • Follow the official updates on the Exclaimer status page.
