Site Email Problems

        The site now has a new email address which will hopefully cure the problems I've had with the ooczone ones, the old addresses are still active but some incoming mail is still being delayed by up to 7 days. The problems with my outgoing Orange mail being identified as spam still remains (this problem appears to affect all Orange users!) so an alternative ISP account has been set up to get around this.

Site Email Problems

        I'm currently experiencing some major problem in both receiving and sending emails, some emails posted to the efezone. co. uk address have taken up to 7 days to be delivered to me, it's possible that some may never have reached me. This problem appears to be connected to a massive increase in spam being sent to my efezone mailbox. It would appear spammers have scanned my site and lifted the email address from the text or links. Measures have now been taken to prevent this from happening again and as a result the clickable email links have been amended or removed.

        A separate issue is also affecting my out going mail, the problem is related to my ISP Orange and means that mail from their customers is being incorrectly marked as spam or blocked by some ISP's. I've become aware in recent days that several emails I've sent (to mainly aol & hotmail) have never been delivered.

        If you've sent an enquiry to the EFE or OOC Zones since the beginning of September and not received a reply then it's likely that I've either not received it or my reply has gone astray. All emails received have been sent replies if you believe you've been affected by these problems then please contact me again using the site contact page available by clicking Email button on the left.
