well, that was an entertaining diversion
Definition of fun: two people spending like twenty minutes trying to diagnose a mail failure, combing logs, firing off test after test, consulting DNS records, etc, etc ...
...only to realize that the reason mail isn't getting delivered is because you fucking forgot to renew your fucking domain.
(Fortunately, the grace period had not yet expired.

My day isn't peaches and cream, either. I've been watching my 9-year-old brother while I'm home for the summer. (Mostly it's just making sure he gets through the list of chores and things he's supposed to do each day before he can watch any TV--making his bed, practicing his typing, emptying the dishwasher, going outside to play, eating balanced nutritional meals, etc.) Yesterday, when I was fine, he was good as gold. Today, when I'm sick, he's trying to throw tantrums about it and get out of actually doing anything. (Though I gotta tell you, it's pretty poor strategy on his part, pulling this when I feel like crap and my temper's pretty short.)
ETA: and now, having failed to gain any sympathy from either me or Dad who just came in, he is now trying to steal the phone so he can call Mom at work and see if he can get any sympathy out of her. I think I shall let him, and smirk when he finds out she's not on his side. Poor baby, not. He's nine years old, time to start growing up.

Really the simple solutions are very nice; even if you do feel like a doofus, it's totally fixed, you know?

If it makes you feel any better, I spent an hour last week trying to figure out where my company's domain name is listed. Seems email, web and domain name are in different places.
