Mails and reports to/from MNHQ: we have discovered the Black Hole of Doom

14 replies

Hello.

Lately, some of you have been saying you're not getting replies to your mails and reports to MNHQ.

Which we found a bit puzzling - as we do make a point of answering every mail and report that comes in.

So, we asked Tech to have a look - and he has discovered a huge batch (literally hundreds) of mails that we've 'sent' but that haven't actually been sent out by the server we were using.

It seems that our server, last week (and possibly the week before) has 'bounced' mails from us to anyone with a hotmail email address and to many with a yahoo or btinternet email address.

We think it's all fixed now but HUGE APOLOGIES

@StealthPolarBear

Ha ha ha :) I was called at 7am one morning to say a system I'd set up had been texting a Very Important Client every 2 minutes...all through the night. So it could be worse :o

Hmm. Can think of a couple of hairy-handed 'friends' that might work for, actually...

@BrainSurgeon

Helen, this wouldn't have affected the PMs I hope? I send two in the past week and heard nothing back, I was beginning to wonder....

Nope. PMs are working fine, afaik

@ChaosTrulyReigns

I will alopogise for calling you lot rood then. Blush

I knew you were all brought up proper, and had to write your Thank You notes to GreatAuntEnid before the cellophane was even off the Fuzzy Felt.

I knew it.

Seriously. My mum forgot to post them one year. And Great Auntie Betty never got us Xmas presents again. [siob]

@OlympicFlame

I've just replied to NatashaMumsnet regarding a competition I was a runner up in. I have hotmail, but I'm guessing because I did it through a PM she should have got it, yes?

Yes, PMs working fine. We'll check with NatashaMN for you, though.

@whojamaflip

Hi - that explains why I didn't get the replies to my reports Grin.

If its not too much hassle please may I have the reply to my one about the researcher who pm'd me? [ever so grateful emoticon]

Yes. We'll go and dig it out now, whojamaflip.

Aaarrrggghhh! Pushchair gate.

When will I learn not to click? Although, I must say I'm surprised that MNHQ could stoop so low. Sad

Yeah, well, that OliviaMN - no standards. Tsk.
