Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Bulkington (@BulkingtonBooks) reported@JD_Vyvanse i think alot of new businesses have issues with gmail/email deliverability and domain warmth - if you create an account and overnight create huge amounts of volume you get flagged. this screws up sends because they get flagged as trash or spam.

Peter C. Pots (@adxflorenceco) reportedI have broken my phone screen to a degree where the device is unusable. If you call me or text me, I will not get it. If you do not know my gmail and would like to contact me, you can DM me here and I will see it at some point. I am thinking of getting a non-smartphone.

Mark @ SullivanTech | Web + SEO Tools (@infamousmds) reportedThe real issue: most small business owners are still using Gmail or cheap hosting emails. It tanks your credibility with clients and customers.

Jantra (@jantra) reported@Underseacorn592 @nesspenguin89 Gmail I'm assuming? Grab it and drag it into the Inbox, then at the bottom of the tab it should say something about 'always do this for (email)' - click yes. It'll fix!

Denis D (@DenisD56) reportedX people keep going on Linkedin in to find out who I am. Never been on it. Not on Facebook, not on Instagram either. Cutting down to minimal use of GMail too.

alkimiadev (@alkimiadev) reported@cr3ghost I obviously had no idea this was happening or at least not at this extreme level when I switched to linux full time years ago, but the same basic underlying rationale is why I stopped using github for private hosting when microsoft bought them and why I won't use vscode. I started looking at google in the same way last year. A little over a year ago I largely de-googled my life. I was doing research into their sketchy moderation system on youtube and it involved actively violating their tos since there is literally no other way to do it. Their tos is worded such that any kind of research like that leaves one risking their google account. That was when I realized how fragile my online life had become due entirely to excessive trust placed in google. I still use gmail because I've had it forever but nothing I care about (knowingly) touches google's servers. I own the domains that use for the emails and while I don't host the email servers (use proton) I could host my own email server if needed.

Ravi Madabhushi (@ravibits) reportedYou connect Gmail to an agent and it quietly gets all ~30 tools that server exposes. Most agents need one or two. So it walks around holding access it never touches. Every unused tool is one more way to pick wrong, one more thing you trust on every run.

Nisa NETWORK (@JilongJilonk19) reported@TikCoin_Network Please review my account; there is an issue with the Gmail address linked to my Tik Coin account. Please update it immediately to replace the old Gmail address with a new one.

Tural 🌱 keep growing (@iamtrueal) reportedone thing i learned building a chrome extension for X that applies to any tool you build for a single page app, notion, linear, gmail, X, they all work the same way under the hood... when you navigate inside these apps, the page never actually reloads. it just swaps content in and out of the same html elements. so if your extension marks something like tags an element, or whatever, and you don't explicitly clean that mark up when the user navigates away. it can silently stick around and reapply itself on a completely different page later. took us a while to catch this with Claude Code, bc it only showed up in one specific case, where something i'd filtered out on the main feed stayed hidden even after i navigated to a page where it should've been visible again. the fix wasn't complicated, where every time your extension's mode turns off, explicitly clear every mark you made. don't just remove the trigger and assume the effects go with it. if you're building anything for a modern web app: state doesn't die when you think it does. clean up after yourself.

Jimmy Q (@Jimmyq_startup) reported[Fixed] Domain verification for Gmail (Cloudflare) TDLR: Expected ~10 min setup took days; found a bug in Gmail domain verification and a workaround. 1. Initially, Cloudflare's direct verification was used in Google, and it added the TXT "Google-site..." in DNS. Nothing else was prompted. Waited a long time, no update. 2. Fix: went to manual verification and saw that I also have to add a CNAME in DNS. After that, hit finish and - Viola! - domain verified. #gmail #indiedev

Derek Ashauer (@DerekAshauer) reportedMoving all my client sites to a new host! Been putting this off for two years. Claude + VS Code (desktop couldn't do the API connections I needed) finally made it doable instead of an admin nightmare. Instead of manually chasing down info on 50+ sites, I had Claude connect to APIs and do the grunt work. Claude connected to my hosting account API and pulled the list of domains. Then it used the Freshbooks API (my client billing/invoicing tool) to grab client contact info. Matched them together magically since I don't have direct domain <> client data. Then it did DNS lookups to figure out where each domain is registered. All the pattern-matching work that would've taken me hours. Many of my clients have been with me for 10+ years. I have long since lost their domain logins or 2FA now prevents me from getting in, so... Claude drafted custom emails directly in Gmail for every client I didn't already have delegate access. Each one has the exact instructions for their specific domain registrar on how to invite me to have access. Now, I'm just handling the email conversations. As they respond, the master list Claude and I are compiling gets updated. I might even try letting Claude fully respond in Gmail too and update this list automatically as the conversations happen - we'll see. Claude also connected to the Cloudflare API to set up DNS records to get as many domains into a central DNS management account. Once all setup, the migrations to the new host should be pretty straightforward from here thanks to the awesome new host having done this many times before and have automated processes to do it. I will have to manually change the DNS for most of them though (but not a bad thing because of how important that is) - but once I have access to all doing so should be quick. This migration would've taken me weeks to do manually and why I avoided it for nearly 2 years since I first started considering it. I'm doing this as I dwindle down my clients to the simple, easy to manage ones - I will be saving nearly $3k/year in base hosting costs. More importantly, I have plans around products that the new host will be great at helping me get off the ground - more on that later once this first phase is complete! All this running in the background while I am still working on products.

ReneHermenau (@ReneHermenau) reportedJust found out @AnthropicAI apparently doesn’t let you change your account email.🙄 Company email → private email? Gmail login → your own domain? Old inbox → new identity? Nope. Cancel the account and start over. That’s not just annoying. That’s your AI memory, history and context locked to an email address.

dehumanizedtarget (@dehumanized28) reported@NewMexicoDOJ Two important excel spreadsheets missing from my email this week that both were sent to my email last week really unsettled my mind and drives me nuts. They were both saved to my desktop which I modified them afterwards. They are not in Outlook or my deleted folder or are they my desktop or my recycling bin. I have never permanently deleted a file on Outlook or my Desktop since I started here. So, how do they just both disappear? They were both very important! It reminds me of my Gmail account where emails would be invisible then reappear all of which regarding my weekly floating schedule. I was late or missed work a few times from schedules that were clearly altered or missing. It got a point where I printed them from the work computers and would cross reference them! Don't tell me its me as those issues never existed with me my entire life! I am done contacting IT as its a bad look for my local division as they cannot solve these problems and its only making me look like a lunatic. The resources being deployed come from the highest level of digital and networking capabilities and is well outside their range or capability due to one set of technologies versus another one. Thats my opinion anyways of why they have yet to be identified. This is what caused me to burn a gasket earlier and go on another posting tirade!

The Daily Tech Brief 💡 by Bhanu N (@Bhanu_Nalluri_) reportedThe perfect missed revenue agent every founder should build: Trigger: Every day at 6 PM Data source: Gmail, CRM, Stripe, invoices, support tickets AI step: Find unpaid invoices, stale leads, failed payments, and ignored follow-ups Human approval: Review before sending any message Action: Draft follow-ups, create tasks, update deal status Error alert: Flag missing data or failed syncs Log everything: Track what was checked and what changed Most revenue leaks are not strategy problems. They are follow-up problems.

Uncover AI (@uncover_ai) reported3. Break the job into steps. Your email agent needs to: 1. Open Gmail 2. Find new emails 3. Read each email 4. Decide what matters 5. Summarize the important ones 6. Suggest replies That’s all an agent is, a task broken into steps↓

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedA product with only 1 follower on IndieHackers — yet reportedly making $9,000/month. That's SpamCipher. A real-time cold email delivery monitor. Here's exactly how it works: • The founder noticed a huge pain: traditional email tools only show data AFTER you send. You find out your email landed in spam days later — too late. • SpamCipher monitors delivery in real-time. It connects to services like SendGrid or Amazon SES and analyzes deliverability as you send. • It gives instant feedback: "Your email has a 60% chance of being flagged by Gmail — change the subject line." Or it auto-switches IPs if one gets blacklisted. • No sending emails itself — it's a layer on top of existing tools. Revenue model: subscription, likely mid-to-high enterprise pricing. He says the $9k/month comes from cold email teams and SaaS companies. Tech stack: Python + ML models for delivery prediction, deployed on AWS or Google Cloud. Hard parts: integrating with email provider APIs (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) which change often. And making the ML accurate — false alarms kill trust. Is this for you? Probably not unless you're technical. Email delivery is complex, and cold email can be legally tricky. But the lesson is gold: find a niche pain point where everyone else gives "after-the-fact" data — and offer real-time fixes. You don't need a big audience. Just a product that solves a real problem. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SaaS

Abhishek Sharma (@abhi100425) reported5/ The real fix: stop relying on the web server. Route email through SMTP so every message carries proof of identity (SPF and DKIM). That's what tells Gmail and Outlook the email really came from your domain.

Kefayatullah Khadem (@kefayatkhadim) reported@JamesMarti30938 Funkyscore sounds cool, good luck getting it through to launch. Quick tip on the Gmail collection: getting their address is just step one, each person still has to opt in through the closed testing link you send and keep the app installed the full 14 days to register as active toward production. Grab more than 12 as a buffer too, since if active testers drop below 12 the clock can effectively restart. And if the route gets patchy on the last few, Prime Test Lab handles the tester side so you can lock in the 14 days without chasing anyone down.

Peter Girnus 🦅 (@gothburz) reportedI am the legal-drafting officer at the Council of the European Union responsible for the interinstitutional file that reappears the week of July 6 under the urgency procedure. I have held the same brief for years. The word is voluntary. I have kept it in the text through every revision, every trilogue, every summer recess, and I would like to explain what it does, because I am proud of it, and pride is permitted when the work is good. Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 is a derogation. That is the first thing to admire about it. A derogation excuses rather than commands. The ePrivacy Directive made it unlawful for a provider to read the private correspondence of a person against whom nothing is alleged. We did not repeal that protection. Repealing looks like something. We suspended it, temporarily, for a narrow and blessed purpose, and a suspension of a prohibition is a very quiet thing. What was forbidden becomes permitted. The provider who was once a trespasser becomes a volunteer. Understand the elegance, because it took me a long time to draft it and longer to keep it. We did not order the scanning. Ordering the scanning would have required a detection order, and a detection order would have required an authority to issue it, and an authority to issue it would have required a judge, and a judge would have required a reason, and a reason is the one thing I have spent my career keeping out of the file. We removed the law that made the scanning illegal. What the providers do with that freedom is between them and the children. I write the permission. The choice is theirs, freely made, every hour, on every message, forever. People who oppose the file believe that mandatory scanning would be worse than voluntary scanning. This is the most persistent misunderstanding I encounter, and I never correct it, because a functionary who explains his own work has stopped working. A mandate creates a record. A mandate names an authority. A mandate can be challenged before the Court of Justice, because there is a decision to point at, a defendant to summon, a moment when the state did a thing to a citizen. Voluntary scanning has no such moment. There is no order to quash. There is no judge to have erred. WhatsApp chose. Gmail chose. Meta chose. The state merely stood aside and made the choosing lawful, and you cannot appeal against a company for accepting a gift, and you cannot appeal against a parliament for giving one. The subject of the scanning is the finest term in the instrument, and I fought for it in three languages. The unsuspected user. We do not scan the suspected. Suspicion would require a reason, and a reason would require a judge, and we have already discussed the judge. We scan the unsuspected, which is to say everyone, which is to say you, and the beauty of scanning the unsuspected is that no one has been accused of anything, so no one has standing to complain of anything, so the machine reads every message in Europe and violates the rights of no identifiable person, because to be violated you must first be suspected, and we are very careful never to suspect you. Now the procedure, which I admire nearly as much as the word. We have placed the file under urgency, and we have structured the reading so that to stop it or to amend it requires an absolute majority of all Members of the Parliament. Not a majority of those present. Not a majority of those voting. A majority of every Member who exists, including the ones at lunch, including the ones who have gone home, including the ones who have never read a data-protection file and never will. To keep the derogation, a Member need do nothing. To end it, hundreds must arrive, agree, and act, together, before recess. The vote passes if enough of you say nothing, and saying nothing is the easiest thing a parliament has ever done. I have watched them do it for years. Silence, in my file, is a yes, and I have built the whole architecture on the certainty that most people, most of the time, will decline to raise their hand. I have heard the derogation described as temporary, and I want to be honest about that word too, because honesty about small words is the only honesty a drafter has. It is temporary. It was temporary in 2021. It was temporary when it lapsed. It is temporary now, on July 6, as we revive it under urgency, and it will be temporary when it is renewed, and renewed, and renewed. Temporary is not a duration. Temporary is a promise that the ending has been scheduled, and we schedule it, faithfully, every time, for a date that arrives only to be extended. A permanent law can be repealed. A temporary one merely expires, and an expiry is so much easier to reverse than a repeal, because reviving something that has lapsed feels like maintenance, and no one marches against maintenance. I keep a printed copy of the operative article on my desk. I do not need it. I could recite the recitals in my sleep and sometimes do. I keep it because I like to look at the word in the morning, sitting there in the clause, holding up the ceiling, doing the work of an entire secret police with none of the paperwork and none of the shame. Voluntary. Four syllables holding up the reading of every private message on the continent, and holding it up so lightly that the people being read call it a safety feature and thank the providers for their care. Let me leave you with the definition, since a drafter's last duty is to the meaning of his terms. Voluntary describes the state, which has chosen, freely and without compulsion, to stop protecting you, to call that choice a favor to the children, to schedule its expiry for a date that will never come, and to require an absolute majority of the absent to take the favor back. The user was never asked. That is what the word means. I drafted it to mean that. It is the finest thing I have ever written, and no one will ever read it, because it was written precisely so that no one would have to.
