The most damning thing about this is they didn't test their email infra w/ Google Workspaces. Imagine what else they didn't test.

That and MS Office are pretty darn popular. Not the whole world, but a very decent percentage of your users.

Maybe the whole thing was intentional, right at the footer of viva "Cloud services by Microsoft Azure" ; #1 I've never heard of viva before #2 I've never seen an azure logo at the footer of a website.

If I were to test an email delivery system, I would test Gmail. I probably wouldn't test Google Workspaces, because I'd (wrongly) assume that they work the same.

No, just over 6 million paying business customers.

But hey, if you're in a business domain where categorically leaving 6 million potential clients-who-are-demonstrated-to-spend-on-things isn't an issue? One fewer thing to worry about, right? ;)

Certainly enough where this is embarrassing incompetence by them.

They are testing it, every time someone signs up and it fails. We don't know that this wasn't something that changed on Google's side, so IMO it's a bigger indictment that no one is monitoring their live email deliverability
