EMail problems last weekend

[sprintmp]

Hi

As some of you may know, as the TVRCC RO Coordinator I collate the monthly RO reports for inclusion in TVR Sprint magazine.

I have received a number of calls from ROs saying that they have not received an acknowledgement from me saying that I have received their reports. I have acknowledged all the reports that I have received.

On further investigation, I have found out that some ISPs closed down their outgoing email service last weekend due to a massive spam/virus attack. The ISPs I know about are Tiscali and Pipex HomeCall. I think things are now back to normal, but I have not received at least one email from a Pipex HomeCall user.

Does anyone know if the problems have now been resolved and of any other ISPs that were affected?

Thanks

I'm still having issues sending email from Tiscali to AOL.
