Go there for one thing, arrive - 'can you check the emails first? Such-and-such got really angry with some spam, and he went on a web page to do something and no-ones received any email since then'.



Check the server - exchange system manager is all screwy, services hanging, but a restart solves it. Still no new mail. Oh look, a pop3 connector... theres the account details... try telnet. no dice. In fact no domain at all Check the domain from dnsstuff.com, they cant find it either. curious. Call the ISP, who reveal that what actually happened yesterday when chappie got naffed off with some spam is that he rang up, gave them both barrels and cancelled their domain entirely.

'I do not beleive you wanted to do that'

Back on now

Anyone else had a fun day?

That doesn't work though - may I cite, as evidence, the early scene in Harry Potter. Spam you can stop....owls are a different matter....
