Normal service of the SMX Filtering Gateway has now been restored. We have identified 43 customer configuration changes made between the most recent backup and the outage that we will manually restore over the course of the day.

Update
We have completed the database restore on 1 of 6 nodes, and mail flow through SMX Filtering is now working again, albeit with degraded performance. We are now working to configure replication from the database primary host to the remaining 5 read-only replicas, which will restore the service to full working capacity. There will be further work required to manually recover system changes made between the most recent backup (6AM this morning) and the time at which the database became corrupted.

Update
We believe the problem relates to corruption of an internal configuration database. We are working to restore the database from a recent backup now. We have manually disabled the SMX Email Admin Portal to prevent writes to the database while it is being restored.
