I just got several of these bouncing today.  Different DSN error number but
same general idea:

The mail you sent could not be delivered to:
550 [log in to unmask] is temporarily unavailable while we upgrade our system
550 [log in to unmask] is temporarily unavailable while we upgrade our system
etc.

Looks like they are still at work. since they have over 40 mail servers
on-line it may take a while...  8-)
