TI's incoming mail appears to be broken. For days at a time, it is
simply giving a '421 Service Temporarily Unavailable' error to incoming
mail.

This is a *temporary* error, so the messages sit on the list server's
queue until they time out (5 or 7 days, IIRC) and then are finally
considered to have bounced. I currently have 38865 messages for 32
separate @ti.com recipients clogging up the mail queue.

Here are some recent failed delivery attempts:

Please report this to your IT department (it looks like it might be a
problem at messagelabs.com rather than in-house), and be aware that I am
on the verge of just banning *all* @ti.com addresses from all lists
until it's fixed. 

I wonder if you'll even receive this message, but perhaps you'll see it
in the archives?
