Is it finally time to be glad if we rely on Greenby? 😁

@pvmb In my case, I don't. My Greenby subscription ends on Dec 6 and as I have moved all my contacts to a proper email service, I will not be renewing

I didn't realise just how many Companies / Organisations were totally reliant on Miicrosoft's data centers.

Where are the contingency plans ?

At least my spam folder seems to be free of emails today.

Perhaps they all use MS for their spamming

Highly likely, @mystreet1 - my real gluts of spam all originated from Google Teams, or whatever their collaborative platform is called though. Thankfully, they must have had enough complaints to actually take some action - the few spam mail I get now appear to be originating in Russia.
