Yeah... there's a little more to that... we'd just switched from a Novell Groupwise system to using Exchange for the group mail stuff with qmail on the border handling the real incoming/outgoing mail (talk about your bad news/good news situations). This was pretty much the first Friday after we switched. When he heard the story, one of the old Groupwise admins commented that the Groupwise system used to go down every Friday at about the same time, and they never quite knew why... they just bounced the server and it was fine again. So the theory (among managers anyway) became that this was some kind of regular mail that had been going on all along, but had never been a "problem" before because Groupwise just crashed and it died there. It seems to me there would still be a queue with those messages waiting to go out again that would keep causing problems til they fixed it, but I don't know Groupwise.
