appearently so: hotmail.com ... again ?!?

Fri Dec 18 20:38:01 UTC 1998

We're upgrading our mailservers, during this process, you may see 
intermittant deferrals, refusals, and larger than normal queues. It can 
be mitigated by resending, esp. at offpeak times. We hope to be finished 
and back to normal shortly. Sorry for the hassle.
