It was rejecting email, 140 times, saying no route to host for almost 24 hours.
I call that the same thing.
To be clear, it was not rejecting mail. The emails were never
rejected, but only
deferred, as is provided for by the RFC for SMTP.
Every message in the queue has been delivered (or will be). None will be rejected.
There is a big difference, but not worth any more hijacking of this thread than has already taken place.
Thanks for reinstating the account.
Again - your attention to this matter was greatly appreciated and I thank you for your follow-through and follow-up.
Well in the 20 years I've been running email servers I call "Not Accepting" as "Rejecting"
You can go with a technicality if you want, but I'll still close an account that doesn't accept email for almost 24 hours,
