Can you go into bios and set the power features to "Power Off" for the last state? I know most servers and PCs offer that feature or something similar. Don't know about the GB-100/1000 though. Mine is a GB-Flash and I have it set that way.

Any chance that you could set up (even temporarily) a secondary mailserver that doesn't depend on the same power feed as the primary mailserver?
