It doesn't take a hurricane to ruin the economy of Belize... BTL can do it with their email server. It's been down for 2 days now.

Do you eventually get your email or is it lost forever?

I've been trying to send emails to a couple of friends with @btl.net and they are being returned... so I'm not sure. Probably not.

the sending servers will keep trying for a few days before giving up..then you will get one of those "I tried, I give up" messages. frown

It's getting better. Today it's been off and on- mostly on.

Well Jesse,

After your post the BTL mailserver has been down for 6 hours straight now.

I look at the bright side; the good thing about the mail being lost is that there is no spam either!

And things are looking better for BTL; there will be a new general manager who they managed to get from Microsoft:

too bad they use MS crap software in the first place. There should be no reason that a linux box running sendmail wouldn't suit the purpose. Why in the world anyone would want to pay for email software is beyond me. Open Source saves money and works better, plus it isn't attacked by every hacker in the world as opposed to MS anything.
