IDENTIFIED

A service provider used by Spamhaus is experiencing an outage in the Middle East, impacting a single DNS Firewall Distribution server: 15.185.97.220 / BAHRAIN.spamhaus.zone. This is a result of the ongoing conflict; the estimated time to resolve is "at least a day”. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please keep an eye on this page for updates. If you require further information or have any queries, please contact us via the Customer Portal (https://portal.spamhaus.com/auth/signin).

RESOLVED

Due to this prolonged provider outage caused by the conflict in the Middle East, and low usage, we have now deprecated the Bahrain distribution server, 15.185.97.220. All customers have been advised to update their configuration to use an alternative distribution server with low latency, or simply remove this IP. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your Spamhaus contact via the Customer Portal.
