Doesn't it always work this way? While I was on vacation last week, my mail server decided to go on vacation as well. Apparently a thunderstorm confused the router, and I wasn't around to kick it.

Any mail sent between Saturday, August 13 and Friday, August 19 probably bounced. I don't have a record of the bounces, though, so please resend any mail from that period which requires a reply.
