And even for longer travels, the bounce message you get is quite
clear about what's happened: the mail has not been delivered because
the mailbox can contain no more than 50 messages, and is full. (This
happened to me whilst I was away over Christmas.)
This is far better than the default SMS situation. I picked up an AT&T
prepaid cellphone in New York, and I never got any notification of
whether my SMS were delivered or not, nor could I see any way to set
up this notification. When I sent an SMS to another phone that was not
equipped to receive it, it just vanished into the ether (but I still got
charged ten cents).
