Answer: Message not deliverable

[barbara_bilodeau@smtplink.sra.com]

My apologies, dear friends, but I think I am the culprit - after a fashion.
We had a major crash here this morning, so all mail coming in to me probably 
bounced, as was described below.

Sadly, now that it appears to our mail processor that a message is from 
"atlantia@csc.ncsu.edu" - as opposed to a particular individual - you all got 
notified that I was unreachable!

The good news is: we're back up.
The bad news is: it could happen again - to me or someone else!

 :) Ahhhh Mail and the way of life. You see it seems that someones 
address on this list is no longer active so the list sent the mail out and 
thought all was good. On the other end a computer accepted the mail and then 
tries to get the mail to the correct person/machine. Well after a set time
most mail servers send the mail back if they where not able to deliver the mail.
So it figures it should send the mail back to the sender and tell him or her 
that they couldn't get the mail to the person. That is what happened. Kinda 
like a no such address thing but in email. 
     
Of course it could be that the address was just not reachable for the 
time set to give up and could be back up and working now.
