I suspect that if you have pending mail, then generating a report to try to e-mail you a warning will also get stuck.

If your internet connection at home is not working, how do you e-mail the company/log a fault on their web-site to let them know? You have to use another method, e.g. phone, use an alternate provider next door etc.


What alternate notification have you considered?
