We first communicated this change in December of 2014 via email, then sent out reminder emails on June 8 and September 11 of this year, as well as posting it as a news item in our ticketing system. We can get you sorted out now, though.
As for the new settings, customer firewalls and Exchange access control (Receive connector) should reflect the following:
Subnets for SMTP
• 208.70.208.0/22 (255.255.252.0)
• 69.84.129.224/27 (255.255.255.224)
Subnets for LDAP
• 208.70.208.0/22 (255.255.252.0)
• 69.84.129.224/27 (255.255.255.224)
And if needed an update SPF (TXT) Record
• v=spf1 mx include:reflexion.net ~all
Exchange 2013
