Just turned the status to not resolved for you.

But we can not help much if the service itself is down.Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Post SMTP – Complete Email Deliverability and SMTP Solution with Email Logs, Alerts, Backup SMTP & Mobile App] Failed delivery status for many emails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-delivery-status-for-many-emails/) * Plugin Author [Saad Iqbal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saadiqbal/) * (@saadiqbal) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-delivery-status-for-many-emails/#post-17461787) * [@raivos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raivos/) 🎉 Also we have a good news for you.
