Description: Flexera Support Cases – Delayed or Failed Email Notifications

Timeframe: August 5, 2026, 12:00 AM PDT to August 13, 2026, 11:10 AM PDT

Incident Summary

On August 5, 2026, our teams identified an issue affecting email notifications for Flexera Support cases. During the incident, some customers did not receive email notifications when updates were made to their support cases, which may have delayed awareness of case activity and progress.

Our technical teams investigated the issue and determined that an issue with the email delivery configuration was causing some outbound support case notifications to be rejected by recipient email systems.

As an interim measure, customers were advised to access the Flexera Community Support Case portal directly to review their case status and updates. Our teams implemented a permanent change to the email delivery configuration and subsequently validated notification delivery.

Following the remediation, email notifications were confirmed to be operating as expected, and the incident was resolved on August 13, 2026, at 11:10 AM PDT.

Root Cause

  • Email Delivery Configuration: An issue with the configuration used to deliver customer-facing support case notifications caused some emails to be rejected by recipient email systems.
  • Notification Delivery: The affected configuration resulted in some customers not receiving email notifications when updates were made to their support cases.
  • Customer Impact: The issue affected email notifications only; customers could continue to access their support cases directly through the Flexera Community Support Case portal.

Remediation Actions

  • Updated Email Delivery Configuration: The email delivery configuration was permanently updated to use the appropriate primary email delivery infrastructure.
  • Notification Validation: Teams validated outbound notification delivery following the configuration change.
  • Customer Workaround: During the incident, customers were advised to access the Flexera Community Support Case portal directly to review case status and updates.
  • Service Monitoring: Teams monitored email notification delivery following remediation to confirm continued stability.

Future Preventative Measures

  • Maintain Approved Email Routing: Customer-facing support case notifications will continue to use the primary email delivery infrastructure established through the permanent remediation.
  • Email Delivery Monitoring: Enhance monitoring and alerting for outbound support case notification failures and rejected messages to provide earlier detection of potential delivery issues.
