Tuffmail was basically a silent middle man. I'd say that any administrator running his/her own email server should know when then internet or power goes out. You're either on the network or trying to check mail from the outside. When the connection is back up, you're inbox is flooded with new messages that were all received by tuffmail during the outage. Luckily most comcast outages are pretty short.
I get your point about the sender wanting to know a messages was received right away. I'd say if you are a business, especially in the IT field, you are better off responding to emails slowly on occasion than to bounce undeliverables back to potential clients and business partners. I'm a big fan of Google Apps and would never recommend putting an email server on a comcast line in the first place, but sometimes you've just got to do your best with what you've got. -Charlie On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 12:39 PM, Bill Woody <woody39...@gmail.com> wrote: > Charlie, > > If your mail server is taking a little break and not accepting mail, most > email will sit in cue at the sender's 'normally configured' server and try > to send again. > Personally, if I am the reciever I'd like to know someone sent me a message > which my server didn't process.
