Sending emails incident on 29th of Nov

On Monday 27th of Nov, our monitoring flagged a significant spike in email delivery from a Free account, evidently used for spam. We promptly closed this account and found and closed three similar accounts.

Due to increased complaints from these mails AWS paused our email deliveries on 29th of Nov. Despite no direct notification, we identified and resolved the issue on 30th of Nov. 

Aftermath: Improvements Underway

Our platform, affected by one spam account, experienced a complete email delivery halt. We're enhancing:

• Hard limits on Free account emails
• Advanced monitoring and alert systems
• Alternative email delivery methods for swift mitigation

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and are committed to preventing such issues in the future.
