Use the department’s phone number

Dennis says its staff cannot send or receive email during an Outlook disruption. The notice, posted November 13, attributes the problem to a Microsoft outage and directs residents to the town’s department phone directory.

The town says queued messages will arrive as service returns and asks for patience while staff work through the backlog. It gives no restoration time.

A notice about email, not every town service

The announcement concerns email access. It does not report a closure of Town Hall or establish that a message sent during the disruption has reached its recipient. For a time-sensitive matter, use the relevant department’s published telephone contact. Town Hall’s main number is 508-394-8300.
