This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

fantastic. I love stuff like that. I can just imagine what goes through the support guys head when someone tells them about the problem. My first thought was TTL or DNS issues, not SMTP timeouts. Genius.

I guessed TTL too
Very interesting read, thanks!
