What happens to our department's email if our email server is down temporarily?

Article Body
  • Outgoing messages may continue to be delivered without problems, even when the server is down, because the user can create messages and send them out through vera.dpo.uab.edu.

     

  • Incoming messages will not bounce back immediately to the sender. It is "standard operating procedure" for e-mail systems to attempt to deliver correctly addressed mail for at least 3 days before giving up and bouncing back to the sender.
