Hi All,
We are doing an upgrade on the machine that holds the postboxes
(mailenable) during the upgrade the server will need to be rebooted
which renders the boxes unreachable.
This causes a 550 error to be sent back to our spam catching server
(running MailScanner spamassassin and postfix).
That is a terrible configuration error. A host outage should
never result in 5xx mail rejects.

I don't love it either but it is how MailEnable works when it can't
access the box, it responds with -
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for originallocalsen...@domain.co.nz (in reply
to RCPT TO command))
Hopefully the MailEnable server won't be in the state where it can't
access the boxes for long - i'm just trying to ensure no mail ends up lost.
