| Tiscali email problems continue | | Customers with Tiscali face lengthy problems with sending emails to pretty much anyone else on the Internet. Nearly 2 weeks ago, spammers used Tiscali`s outbound SMTP servers to send millions of emails out via their servers. This led to Tiscali`s servers being black-listed by large numbers of ISPs and giving Tiscali engineers a nightmare to cleanup.
The problems are still continuing and Tiscali has almost given up fixing their own service and are advising users to use HotMail, Yahoo or GoogleMail instead!
We are currently experiencing issues with outbound emails. We have been targeted by spammers using our service, which in turn has meant other ISPs have taken measures to block mail sent by Tiscali. This is not affecting all delivery addresses. Some mail continues to be delivered as normal. However some mail is being blocked by the receiving email servers.
Our engineers are taking urgent actions to block spammers abusing our email service. New hardware is being installed and spam filters are being updated. This work will be complete today. It is likely to take 7-10 days for these changes to take effect across receiving email providers. During this period, customers will still find some sent emails delayed.
