Something happen to Amiga.org email addresses?

[tomfin]

Hi all,

Just wondering... I used receive email through an @amiga.org email address which was activated when I created my account. All email to the @amiga.org address was forwarded on to my real email address.  

It's been a while since I checked it was getting through alright, but have just found the mail is returned to the sender with an error.

Does anyone know if the service been suspended or stopped?  Or could it be an unlikely problem forwarding the email to my Gmail account?

I've had a quick look through the FAQs but to no avail.  

Thanks,

Tom

Ah... biters!

Two years ago makes sense.  I used the address only for my CV, which is being updated.  Now rather relieved, as there was more than a small chance of the amiga.org address going out again.  Doh.

Thanks.  Spammers are gits indeed.

Heck, I've got less than ten posts and a perfectly legit user.  Plus I wonder if putting such target post numbers in might encourage spamming on the forums as many might post junk comments in order to gain access to features.

How about getting the wallet out?  I'd happily make a one-time Paypal payment of £20 or so to the amiga.org coffers to get the service back permanently for my login.  Even a smaller annual subscription might be palatable.

Sorry, I don't have much in the way of good ideas for the software/admin solution.  The paying-for-it idea sounds like a privilege account system with some users marked as having and everyone else as have-nots, but I'll guess that isn't in cPanel out of the box  :-(

Thanks,

Tom
