This is very odd... One of my #Mastodon instances says for an entire #WriteFreely domain: "delivery is not available," while another Mastodon instance says the same domain can be delivered to. 🤔

Following doesn't work from the "domain undeliverable" Masto instance. I don't think there's any moderation-related reason this domain would be marked this way. So what would cause this? cc @Gargron

@matt Delivery unavailable = no more delivery attempts after 7 consecutive days of delivery failures

@Gargron Got it, that makes sense now! Thanks.

Any way to reset this state? Would be very helpful in the case of a faulty application / server.

@matt It resets if it receives anything from that server

@Gargron Oh perfect, that did it! Mentioned my Mastodon account from a WriteFreely post and it restored delivery.

Really appreciate the help!
