good point, so tell him to keep his machine on. vbg
hmmmm, I wonder if Imail would keep trying to deliver the right
domain to the wrong ip for the "retry x period" limit or would Imail
bounce the mail the first time the wrong mail server sent back a
5xx? Imail should not try again when it receives a 5xx.
Then again, if the wrong machine was not an SMTP server, then imail
would get "mx connect fail" and keep retrying for "retry x period"
timeout, during which time the right mail server should come back on
line at its new ip address.
