Problem: Hating to echo my concern that I expressed on 2007/07/20 at 13:22, but it's getting worse. I'm finding now that people with yahoo email accounts, and some people with h0tmail accounts, are not receiving my emails. This needs to be fixed, asap. After all, what's the use of having an email address if you can't send anyone an email? I hate to say it, but if this doesn't get fixed, I'll have a tough time recommending the toronto freenet to people anymore.

Problem: I would just like to echo Claudio's concern that some people have been unable to reach me (who, in the past, were able to). Usually it is people sending email to me from company websites, IE, user@opseu.org, or user@powerscore.com. People from these agencies would get an error message like: "The following recipient(s) could not be reached: (dg135@torfree.net) on 7/18/2007 5:13 PM Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Please retry or contact your administrator. " It's a bit worrisome that some people cannot send email to me. (Spammers, however, seem to have no problem reaching me, but that is another issue)

They do not care about their service. Had queried the office@torfree.net They never answer the problem.

I have forgotten the password to my account and cannot login, I have tried emailing all the eamil account listed on the contact page, but my emails simply get bounced back as undeliverable. I imagine I would get the same response sending to probadm@torfree.net. All of my emails from ai524 get forwarded to my work account, so you can simply reach me by emailing ai524. You will need to provide me with a return address that I can reply to though. Thank you for your quick response to this.

Problem: The problem is with ADSL service (cannot find anywhere to report the problem on tfnet.ca other than e-mail and no response seems forthcoming): My regular POP3 server, IMAP and H-o-t-m-a-i-l (the software rejected this message b/c of that word) accounts are accessible at high speed (sent a 7 MB attachment as a test of smtp.tfnet.ca in under a minute), www.tfnet.ca, www.torfree.net and for some bizarre reason www.library.utoronto.ca (but not http://www.utoronto.ca). www.google.ca, the most important site is inaccessible (as is the rest of the web). Once in a while another web page will load, but very slowly (and sometimes quickly). At first I thought it was the modem, but the fact that www.tfnet.ca loads and e-mail is fast suggests a different problem. Three different computers with three different OSes exhibit this behaviour (Mac OS 9, OS X and Windows 95) so it's not an OS-restricted thing. The ADSL modem is the one provided by tfnet: "Billion BIPAC-711CE ADSL Modem/Router"

Problem:	Hating to echo my concern that I expressed on 2007/07/20 at 13:22, but it's getting worse. I'm finding now that people with yahoo email accounts, and some people with h0tmail accounts, are not receiving my emails. This needs to be fixed, asap. After all, what's the use of having an email address if you can't send anyone an email? I hate to say it, but if this doesn't get fixed, I'll have a tough time recommending the toronto freenet to people anymore.

Problem:	I would just like to echo Claudio's concern that some people have been unable to reach me (who, in the past, were able to). Usually it is people sending email to me from company websites, IE, user@opseu.org, or user@powerscore.com. People from these agencies would get an error message like: "The following recipient(s) could not be reached: (dg135@torfree.net) on 7/18/2007 5:13 PM Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Please retry or contact your administrator. " It's a bit worrisome that some people cannot send email to me. (Spammers, however, seem to have no problem reaching me, but that is another issue)
