We're sorry. Email has been disabled due to the enormous amount of traffic caused by the sobig.f virus. Until new mime sweeping software can be installed all outside email has been disabled

***Edit***

You know now that I think about it, there are only two people that I emailed... One was Jake's wife and the other was Dr. Zeladzney... Odd I should get a response from the lawyer's office.....

email auto response

Hello,
all the ingame websites I believe are connected to server.thisisnotagame.com, which must be the email server as well. So they probably had disabled all the ingame emails until the game 'begins'.

That's my guess anyhow.

EDIT: PS>I got the same response above after emailing a few prof's and the student services dept.
