I think this is a good idea, especially if the network is down more
than a few hours. We expect intermittent outages from time to time,
but extended outages, for whatever reason, should be announced so that
people will have some idea of what *MIGHT* be going on...

If you know what you're doing, its fairly easy to hand route outgoing
mail through machines that are reachable; incoming mail is still
hosed, though. Not that I'm recommending that people hand route all
their e-mail, however....

I noticed problems with the net starting saturday evening; when the
mail queues were still growing when I got in this morning, I knew that
something was *SERIOUSLY* amiss, but had no idea until early this
afternoon what was wrong (Thanks Simon!)....
