Another Phishing Scam Email - 'Account Upgrade Update'
There is another scam email being sent to members, with the subject "Account Upgrade Update" once again asking you to give out your username and password.

This is a scam and you should ignore and delete the email as you should with any email that asks you for your password.

If you have accidentally replied to the email, please immediately login and change your password to something totally different.

Inbound mail server update
It seems there was a problem with our power supply to the server. The server is back up and will be delivering deferred mail throughout this afternoon. There is a LOT of mail to come through so it will take a while. Please note that we have already commissioned another inbound server which will add redundancy to this layer of the service. Thanks for your patience.

Helpdesk Delays
Dear Members, a problem with the support desk software 'hid' a few dozen tickets from view. If you have an unresolved query this will be the likely cause. We have been working through all open cases and you should hear back from us today. We do apologise for the delay - support issues are usually responded to promptly.
