Yes, I know that the two servers are different, but they are connected, 
maybe linked is a better word. Usually when there's a problem, it's the 
other way around - the mail works, the reporting system is down.
I just popped some mail from SC which was probably there from last 
night. before the problem started. But two test mailings I just made did 
not bounce, but are not available for popping. Since they didn't bounce, 
I would hope that means mail is not getting lost but just "stuck" 
somewhere in the SC servers.
Like HAL, I have great confidence in "Dave" to fix it :)
