If there is, then that IP address will be used when the task starts up in a minute. If not, the same IP address will be used. If the task has failed a certain number of times (as specified in the script), MailMan sends a bulletin to the Postmaster to notify site managers of the problem. Included in the bulletin is a transcript of the latest attempt.
