Fastmail partially interrupted for nearly 24 hours
And not a single reaction. Glory days are over here.

Another interpretation of the lack of reaction is that only a very small percentage of the users were inconvenienced.

I never noticed a problem. Current status page (as of 7/1 at 8:16PM PDT) says everything is OK but it does mention some users were experiencing a problem. I guess not enough users were affected or it was fixed fast, or the FastMail users that know this forum even exists didn't think it worth mentioning. Well, excluding Berenburger of course!

I wasn't affected so I didn't post. FWIW the Reddit page received 71 responses so far.

The Fastmail Status page shows that it was an internet routing issue external to Fastmail a couple of days ago. I (and my friends with Fastmail accounts) had no problems. We are in the US. From the status page:

Routing table errors on some networks that were out of the control of Fastmail. All Fastmail could do was diagnose which networks seemed to be affected (not easy) and try to locate those responsible for the networks' administration.

When correctly configured, it is possible for traffic to be routed around temporarily unavailable routes. However, the Internet is not designed to be resilient against configuration errors.
