  Certainly -- during this Saturday's maintenance, "most" mail servers 
will attempt to deliver mail, not be able to connect, and keep trying 
every four hours for a period of five days.

  I use quotations because the retry delay and final expiration values may 
have been changed on any given mail server.  However, at an overview 
level, there will be no mail delivery during our maintenance, and our mail 
server will begin receiving and delivering backlogged mail as soon as we 
have things up and running again.

  thank you,                                    919.962.5646 w
