Just Found Out...Mail's Not Being Queued

lwoodApparently, my backup mail exchanger is not queueing up e-mails for my domains like it's supposed to.
That means that instead of mail being held on the other server until I come online and can catch it, it's all bounding.
...I fail. I fail so bad.
However, I should reiterate that all your old stuff is fine; the failure of new stuff to properly accumulate is the fault of another guy who I should not have trusted for this long; he's let me down before, but I tend to trust past reason and out to fault.
I was in the middle of doing the restore, and asked![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
countgeiger to help move the system configuration files to a place where we could go through them carefully and incorporate the old customizations into the current state of the art... and he was playing WoW while he heard me, and WoW while he did it, and has had a crazy week at work, so he ran right over the real configuration files instead, rendering the system an immediate and unusable mess.
Which meant I had to start the entire rebuild from scratch.
He's sorry.
That's nice.
I'm the one up until three-thirty.
When I nearly had a barebones system up to where I could customize it, I made a wrong choice, and made the system unbootable again. Easier to start yet another rebuild than chase the module loading error through the backwoods.
Things will work as soon as I can make them so; knowing now that mail isn't being properly queued on my backup mail exchanger has hit me quite hard on top of the rest of the evening's setbacks. I shall start dropping other committments, in light of this, so that things may be brought back online as soon as possible, and that, in turn, you can all move your e-mail someplace more reliable; not that I'm turning anything off, but I'm clearly not to be trusted.
Well.
At least it was nice to visit the Sea.
