Title: Amiga.org e-mail forwarding -- Test messages
Post by: on March 18, 2003, 10:02:14 PM
For the first time ever, we sent out a test message in regards to working out a problem with our e-mail forwarding.  This will also illuminate a few problems with people who are using bogus e-mail addresses (allowing them to randomly abuse the system).

Out of about 5500 messages, we've had about 400 returned.  Most of those are NOT because of bogus information, but for problems with the network, specifically "Too Many Hops" between Amiga.org and the destination server.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Well, I got the email - and since we've completely re-done the network / changed computers round my friends - (now using ICS on a couple athlon/win XP's) - I've had no more problems logging in here either...:-)

So if a member hasn't received an email from AOrg, then he hasn't forwarding for now?

If it  does not receive you then it obviously isn't working correctly.


Well, yes. But then I wouldn't be reading that, so who cares? :-)

The Phone boxes along Tottenham Court Road advertise women who are "qualified" at O level and A level...  :-D
which means that they are either quite smart, or good fun to know  :-o

It's the ones that offer S & M services that get me worried.....
BTW, what's with all these "massage" services anyway? And why is it so important that the girl is 'new in town'? :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

You can tell when the neighbourhood has gone downhill when you start getting more massage flyers than pizza offers through the letterbox.....

Well, I was amazed to see that they had started selling Electrical Goods via the Phone Box Card method...
Only then did it occur to me that I was think of the wrong type of TV...  :-P

I have'nt received the test message, so this should mean I have message forwarding turned off. However, I have received spam this week which has been forwarded from amiga.org.

From whats been said above I did'nt think this was possable. :-?

Yeah, that fooled me for a while as well.
I saw a card which said "TV 5'10" New In Town" and I was thinking that I'd never get a telly that big into my lounge........
