Full Version: Crazy Orange Server
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Beware more and more servers such as NTK, Supanet, and Hotmail (incorporating MSN presumably) are refusing to accept our email from Orange, as these other servers use Spamcop, and are fed up with Orange allowing silly Spammers to use their service. Spamcop state on their website that this has been a problem with Wanadoo/Orange since 2004, and so Orange has had plenty of time to sort this problem. Ever since Orange took over Wanadoo in June this year, who originally took over the old UK Freeserve, many of us have been increasingly inundated with more and more stupid spam, much in some obscure foreign language or showing indecipherable symbols.

Dare I say possibly the heart of the problem is due the fact Orange is owned by a French company who do not appear care a fig about the problems they are causing other servers, and likewise Wanadoo was owned by another non UK company!! Needless to say before long, as more of their customers become aware of these problems in experiencing increasingly more mail being returned undelivered, Orange will find its customers starting to leave in droves. This is especially as Sky UK is now offering FREE basic Broadband in more and more areas each day.

Uhhh... what?

If you use Orange, your outgoing mail will most likely be sent back to you. The company is French - which right there says a whole lot - so they don't have any of these things called "rules." So, people use Orange for their spamming deeds, and big companies are starting to just return all email from Orange.

Better :???:
Ohhh... I thought for a second that this was spam...

Silly, silly me.
The latest saga of crazy French owned Orange is since early this Saturday, it would appear from numerous posts in their forums ALL of the current web sites supposed to be hosted by Orange are down and inaccessible, such as the 3 that I manage. However the sites originally opened while under the old Freeserve such as 3 of which I control are still in operation

Have you ever know any other server or web host manage to get them selves in such a state?
