Commiserations.
Did they tell you beforehand?
I'd complain like @@@!*! if I were you.
Email should never be down from an ISP. Its perfectly possible to have dual-redundant servers, to upgrade one set, swap over almost instantaneously and resume without anyone noticing.
A system I designed 25 years ago could do it (except that was monitoring two nuclear reactors, not distributing a load of spam), so why not now?
If they do it again, get a real ISP!
