Impact

No emails were sent between approximately 00:20 and 16:15. GitLab itself remained available.

Root Cause

The switch of the email delivery to the new sender address did not work initially.

Resolution

Fixed, emails are being delivered again. Emails are now sent from gitlab@git.nrw.

Timeline

  1. Email delivery change rolled out

  2. Email delivery restored

Additional Details

On September 2, 2026, no emails were sent via gitlab.git.nrw between 00:20 and 16:15 CEST, including notifications for issues, merge requests, project memberships, and other activity. GitLab itself remained available.

The problem has been fixed. GitLab now sends emails from gitlab@git.nrw and signs them. Previously gitlab@gitlab.git.nrw was used. Please check your spam filters and mail rules for the new sender address if necessary.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
