e-mail services down

Micheal,
actually, this isn't quite the case.
I use IP directed addressing here (no names, just numbers)
and all the servers appeared to have the same problem.

Also, according to tier II support level, it seems that
the last crash lasted somewhere in the neighborhood of
28 hours (it was a total server malfunction.).

the very last malfunction ocurred overnight here and affected
all e-mail accounts located within arizona.

I did ask if this was a DNS issue, and was told no.

so there you have it.
