Morning all.
I appreciate people will be busy this morning but it someone could provide a likely ETA for normal service it would be much appreciated - either on the Status page or here?
Thanks in advance.
NB. twitter.com/Freeola would work well for Service updates and if the outage was affecting your website you could still reach the world :¬)

Oh I see what's happened now. I guess that's why 'mcthomas' has started to see problems as his provider may have blocked mails being forwarded from Freeola as they 'saw' the Freeola email recovery as some sort of attack.
Are you not able to contact Yahoo and orange.es to explain what's recently happened to get things back to normal?
I wonder if it's worth updating your Service Status page as no doubt this will be affecting other users?...

As I said it's an issue with Yahoo refusing the email. There is nothing we can investigate at the moment. I don't believe there are any other companies we have noticed doing the same but it is always possible.
It makes sense when you think Yahoo are like Hotmail in their zealous (dare I say overly so) approach to protecting their customers. A new server sending thousands of messages at once will cause alarm.

Hi Warhunt,
That's interesting. I take it investigations are on-going?

We have noticed some issues with forwarding with Yahoo addresses. Yahoo seem to be refusing the emails forwarded on, which we have no control over.

Hi,
Not being able to view mail using Freeola is right when you have forwarding in place - i.e. It doesn't keep a copy at Freeola's end.
The timing is strange, but it sounds like your provider have stopped accepting mail from Freeola. Perhaps Freeola will be able to investigate this (or your other provider)?
NB. Have you checked any spam/junk measures you and orange.es have?
Otherwise all I can suggest is you try forwarding to another account if picking up direct from Freeola doesn't work long term for you.

He was a continual 'pain in the butt' during the entire 'outage' Digi, particularly at the beginning - critical mission this, critical mission that etc etc - unfortunately, and being quite cynical, the poor sod that might have been the subject of his original post is well and truly cream-crackered by now..:-D
But don't fret, there is no evidence to suggest that WAG exists anyway and it would certainly appear to not have 'zillions' of staff members.
Having looked at 'the site', I'd be surprised if he wasn't 'visited' by Getty Images to 'pay' site fees for the images used on the site :-)

Well my concern was he was quite scathing in his attacks on Freeola staff - yet he probly has more staff in his office than support staff at Freeola towers and his wibe sites no working! why does he not complain about his own actions :)

You and all of us are confused Digi. The 'problem' that has caused this 'conundrum' is WAG's initial posts regarding 'critical medical whatever'.
At the time, we all must have felt the same and tried to offer assistance - without doing too much checking - but how can you when someone is 'drowning' in the mire?

You and all of us are confused Digi. The 'problem' that has caused this 'conundrum' is WAG's initial posts regarding 'critical medical whatever'.
At the time, we all must have felt the same and tried to offer assistance - without doing too much checking - but how can you when someone is 'drowning' in the mire?
