OpenStreetMap emails to hotmail.com, outlook.com, and live.com disrupted

Foundation

All OpenStreetMap.org emails to live.com, hotmail.com, and outlook.com from our mail server is currently hard blocked by Microsoft.

We have escalated the issue with Microsoft and are waiting for them to resolve the issue their side.

We (OSM operations team) have placed a temporary hold on outgoing emails to these email addresses. Once the issue has been resolved we will release the queued emails.

OpenStreetMap.org signup confirmation emails, password reset emails and other notification emails will only be received once the issue has been resolved.

It is expected the issue should be resolved by late 2nd June 2025.

The issue appear now to be fixed, and we have started processing the queue. It may take a couple of hours for the queued emails to be sent.

If you did not receive your sign-up confirmation email or password reset email please use the Lost password | OpenStreetMap form to receive a new email.

A portion of the earlier emails were lost and will not be sent.
