"If you were affected by this issue, it’s important to note that email sent to you between 6:00 PM PST on February 27 and 2:00 PM PST on February 28 was likely not delivered to your mailbox, and the senders would have received a notification that their messages weren’t delivered. "
That's pretty scary to me. I would've hated to have gotten any e-mail alerts or payment due date reminders during that time.

Not exactly the kind of thing that would make you think resending would get the message through.
