WGW hosting problems

We are currently having a few problems with our hosting. I have checked and our hosting company are having some server issues, so some people may not be able to connect to the site.

I will update as soon as this is fixed.

Problems with btinternet.com e-mail addresses.

It seems that we are having problems with sending to btinternet.com addresses. I am addressing this now.

I have checked and it seems that the topmum.co.uk is on a spam list. This will most probably not our fault due to other people using the same ip range to send e-mails.

If you can please use a different e-mail address for the moment until this is sorted.

This Just in from our hosting:

UCEPROTECT (The Spam Blocking Service) - Axy_666 attempts to extort 50 Euros per blocked IP or 150 Euros per /24, and refuses to provide evidence on specifically what spam is causing the blocks. We suspect them to be blocking us for mail that our MX machines have relayed for mail forwards, which is not easily remedied because we do not force mandatory spam screening on incoming mail (and instead leave that to customer preference - as many people do not want to
even risk losing legitimate email to spam screens) - however we can’tconfirm this since they will not provide evidence. It’s a bit difficult to pinpoint the source of offending spam for over 400,000 domains without
such evidence, as you can imagine.

While paying money in general is not an issue, UCEPROTECT’s practices are questionable and we are pretty certain the IPs will just be blocked again. UCEPROTECT’s blocks lapse automatically after 7 days, and we’ve noticed our IPs cycling in and out regularly for the last few weeks. At this point we are working on some plans to upgrade our spam flagging for
forwarded mail such that this won’t be an issue permanently, but in the meantime I recommend having your recipients whitelist you (or perhaps use UCEPROTECT as an advisory/flag, rather than an end-all be-all blacklist).

New WGW Forum!

We have a new forum!

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the current forum database so no posts or users will be transferred over to the new forum. Therefore you will need to re-register. I am hosting this off my own hosting until I can get it transferred across to here.

The old forum will still remain active but only for reference purposes. I.E. Retrieval of old posts etc. Please could you update your links & bookmarks to reflect this.
