- wfunction 10y ago> "oops, try again later" is not what is happening when your mail server reboots. Email uses asynchronous protocols. Wha...? How do you think my server receives emails while it's rebooting?
- metafunctor 10y agoThe sending server will automatically try to deliver the email again for a few days. If the receiving server is occasionally down, there will be a delay, but if it's not down for very long (many days) the email will eventually be delivered.
