24 hours???  What the hell.  I'm surprised that a customer service 
person would speculate like that, especially when it amounts to vastly 
discrediting their own service.

Anyway, it's timely that you should post this.  My outbound mail queue 
has been filling all afternoon with messages bound for sympatico.ca; one 
of my clients phoned a few minutes ago to enquire about some delayed 
message reports she'd been receiving, so I started poking around.  None 
of their 8 MX are accepting connections:

By sheer coincidence, or what?
