Title: Anyone having email problems?
Post by: gingerjedi on Mar 03, 2008, 17:07:13
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.

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!

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?

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

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

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