Why is it that anyone who provides an online service seems to have a clause in their contract where they can stop providing it for a few days without you being to do anything about it?

I haven't been receiving any email for the last 48 hours as there has been a problem with the NTLworld server that my email goes to before all the spam gets striped out by Spamarrest. I'd assumed that while NTL were carrying out the essential maintenance my mail would simply be stuck the ether somewhere, however I've now discovered that all my mail has been bounced back to the senders instead. It would have been nice for NTL to have at least warned me that this was a possibility. Sadly there's f*ck all I can do about it.

I can't really remember why I use NTL to route my mail anyway as my Graphicjunkie.com hosting includes its own POP accounts. I think it goes back to the days when Antzonline.com was hosted by UK2 and they didn't offer POP accounts so my mail had to get forwarded to someone who did. So, any, my lunch today was spent quickly switching over all my email settings so that mail stopped getting bounced back from the evil NTL servers. Everything is now peaceful and carm and all the lovely spam can flood back into my account.
