I'm not sure.  On wednesday (I think) everyone's email stopped working 
at stargate.  They got flooded with calls.  Their SMTP server simply 
kept asking for passwords repeatedly and never accepted them.

Apparently, it used to simply accept usernames, but now cause of some 
unknown error, this no longer was accpetable to the server.

Now, this fix does exist for most clients, but there are some clients 
now that simply won't work with their email server.

I kinda think that Stargate figures they won't put too much effort into 
finding out what happened if this fix exists.
