There is 3d+ some hours grace period during which vger
doesn't need to be able to feed email to destination
system, BUT AFTER THAT STARTS BOUNCING.
(To linux-kernel-owner, NOT to the list itself!)
Alan Cox was awhile back offline for 2-3 days, and was
amazed that trans-atlantic connection can feed email
at full bandwidth of his network connection (512k, or
whatever that was..)

If you are unconnected for more than that 3d+, THEN
you will be removed. For few hours that is no problem.
Begin connected to the network for few hours every day
is no problem either, but then you would most likely
have backup MX server, and issue an ETRN request for
your domain there when you reconnect.

know nothing about.
