Explanation of remote email delays

Hi All!

Just a basic run down of whats happening with "missing" email.

If you've been sent email since Pluto started demanding a bank holiday break you will most likely find that the sending servers have entered into "deferred" mode for your mails.

This means that they will hang on to your mail for 7 days with increasingly long retry periods until they finally give up and delete your mail 8 days from it being sent.

We should have everyone's primary and addon domains restored long before that happens.

We will also try and retrieve any uncorrupted email (if any) on the corrupted disks - though there is no guarantee this will be possible.

Hope this helps put a few minds at rest.

I'm on because Andrew went to sleep

I'll make another sticky where you can post domains that dont seem to be receiving emails since they were restored.
