Yeah, unfortunately my tertiary MX had vanished some time ago and I
hadn't noticed (I have better monitoring tools now). The secondary was
run by said imploding ISP... the same guys who had just changed my
IP address without notice and broken my primary MX.

Fun.

Yeah. In the end, no matter what you do, everything *will* fail. The trick
is to maximize the time until that happens...
