So I've heard!

They were indeed the first things we tried, but alas no difference.

Yeah. In an ideal world, this sh!t wouldn't be necessary.
An advertised product would work as advertised :)

My (panic call, broken and garbled message, followed with an SMS) didn't 
give me much latitude, so the temporary workaround has been to set up a 
secondary MX, accept all the mail for their domain and forward to a gmail 
address one of the staff had.

Heard from the boss this morning, he's due back in the country late today 
and we'll work on it later - I thought I'd check in the off-chance there 
was a known outage or change in product specifications!

Thanks though.
