Is my mail just totally lost?

[Alex Ethridge]

After three days of of no mail at all, I finally got just a few mails but at least six important mails I know should have come, haven't come.



Are they just totally lost forever?

Any email that was stuck in a remote queue long enough to actually bounce will have bounced back to the sender and it would be up to them to attempt to send it again. Anything that hasn't bounced is still stuck in a queue and will come through eventually. The email servers are working at their full capacity trying to crunch through the back log.

Thanks for the reply.

FWIW, I have a certain type of email that comes through at regular intervals and I now have all of them, showing me that, AFAIK, the whole mail-down window has been filled at this point.

It happens, nothing new
