I have a client that uses Godaddy email - I assume this means that any emails sent during the outage will be forever lost.

- roadnottaken 14y agoI was just wondering about this. Does anyone know what happens to e-mails sent to domains that aren't resolving? Do they really just get lost?

- uxp 14y agoMost (properly configured) MTAs will queue and retry, so any unsent mail shouldn't be blindly discarded. Postfix, for example, defaults to a queue lifetime of 5 days.
- adatta02 14y agoPotentially not, many MTA relays will retry a couple of times before completely giving up. The sender might also get a delivery failure message from the relay.
