Starting at about 8am ET this morning, all emails are just sitting in the queue waiting to be sent out.
I'm not sure why the mailserver isn't completing the sends.

I'm investigating.

My guess is no. If you'll note in Tigereye's message, the emails aren't getting out, but he's checking into it. Have a little patience please... sometimes the solution isn't obvious and sometimes additional intervention by a 3rd party is required.

Thank you, I can confirm it works. I've been through the training missions and the various documentations scattered about, should be fun. :) And apologies on the change email requests I sent through... I did quite a few of them. :/

So in perfect irony, everything seems to work.

I had spent about 2 hours researching the error message generated, and tried a bunch of things and none of them worked. The emails kept piling onto the queue and none were being sent out.
I gave up and went downstairs when there were about 480 emails waiting to be delivered, about 20 of them were my tests.

In the middle of eating, my blackberry starts going off like mad: DING! DING! DING! All of my test mails started coming through.

I don't know if it was what I changed, or something that Thalgor did (I had sent him an SMS to his cell) or if it fixed itself, but it works!

There are 170 emails left in the queue and are on their way out.

Things should be back to normal soon.
