E-Mail is Down

Yes, I work on the email system for my government agency, but my e-mail account has been moved to the new system for testing. Wouldn’t you know it, the new system (which I had no hand in designing whatsoever) is having a hardware problem and they had to take completely down to fix it. This system is so full of single points of failure it isn’t funny, this problem being a good example. Since most of my job revolves around e-mail, well, there isn’t much that I can do right now which is frustrating because I was out yesterday and have some catching up to do.
