Anyone know whats up with Sympatico / Bell's mail servers ? My customers
are asking me why their mail is not getting there nor mail from sympatico
is not getting to us. Most mail does not seem to be going through although
network connectivity seems fine. I tried from 2 other networks and the
issue seems to be the same.
