Anyone having email problems?

[gingerjedi]

Is the mail server down or something? I couldn't send mail 10 minutes ago, now mail has been sent but I can't receive, I am getting a pop3 timed out error message.

There's been a router problem this afternoon. Things should be OK now.

[gingerjedi]

Yes its working again now!

[Rik]

Always does it just after you post, doesn't it.

Problems solved so quickly with IDNET that not many people realize there had been any.

[gingerjedi]

I'm always telling people how good IDNET is but they don't listen... they dont want to pay for a premium service but moan about how bad their cheap/free ISP is!

Thats a very familiar story some people will never learn

Not to mention how much it costs to call them at premium rates...

I've often had the odd server time out on the emails, but it seems to rectify in a minute or two.  Traffic related, perhaps?

[Rik]

No, it was a router problem today, Simon, albeit indirectly a traffic problem.

[cavillas]

Are they using your old router Rik?

[Rik]

Both of the Alf, it improves redundancy. I've also let them have my collection of elastic bands.

 I recon someone forgot the shilling for the meter

[Rik]

No, I can guarantee that's not the case, Talos. The meter only takes £1 coins. 

[cavillas]

The meter only takes £1 coins

Things are worse than I thought.

[Rik]

Maybe we should have a whip round, Alf? Where's Jill? 

[cavillas]

Dangerous ground there, Rik.

I know, that's why I'm typing this from the bunker.
