Hard to say. Did notice the other day one of the BOOKS said that thier emails where not going through.

i guess it depends what sever their mail is on..
if it is the same as the website I would guess no...

but considering thay hollywood was emailing back and forth with the hacker while they were attacked I would say yes they can

I agree with Angelle, same server or behind same firewall/router would be a problem. If router is attacked, no traffic gets through.

An email server can be hosted completely offsite from where the book/webserver is located. Also, some services like Homepagenames can route all email for your domain to a yahoo/hotmail account. For example: anybody@hollywood.com could go to hollywood@yahoo.com
In this made up example, the email would never even touch the book and go right to yahoo.

im pretty sure it depends on the book in question.
