Oh its quite likely our administrator made changes, even without realizing the harm caused. The other end is not getting the communications at all, instead I am told that my email cannot leave here, even if it could leave here previously. Its quite emotionally disconcerting for me, because at the moment almost all of my communications professionally and personally must be done via email.
