Definately, looking to see if Deadpool will make it to circuit. Can't get the trailer on, as on my phone.

Can you maybe upload the Deadpool trailer? I'm also wanting to Check out Creed, as I'm a big Rocky fan. Heard there will be another Back to the Future as well :)

The best one, the NSFW one is on YouTube ;)
Probably against the rules to post it here, so I'll err on the side of caution.
 
I haven't really been paying attention, but has Afrihost revealed who their new network backbone is provided by? Just curious.

We use numerous upstream providers :)

One of them is IS isn't it? I have been experiencing some symptoms which point to this. Issues which I've only ever experienced on the IS backbone. More specifically, email related issues.

It's intermittent, and not all that common, but nevertheless has existed on the IS backbone for as long as I can remember.

Nope, IS isn't part of our backbone :)
What kind of issues are you seeing?

It's an issue sending email messages. Sometimes (rarely) when sending a message using the smtp.afrihost.co.za outgoing mail server, or previously with IS based accounts, smtp.isdsl.net, I get the following message delivery failure:

"503 Valid RCPT command must precede DATA"

If I resend the same message through another provider, i.e Vox (smtp.vox.co.za), the message goes through fine.

That's pretty odd. From my experience, this error usually means that SMTP is looking for some form of authentication, mostly using Outlook. Which mail client are you using?

Perhaps have a scan through this? http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...ede-data/1502e13d-802c-4f37-b7ef-bd1da5a99281

I have an email with Vox, Afrihost, Axxess, and Incredible. It's not email account specific, it could happen to any one of the given emails at any given time. Almost like it's totally random.

Vox has it's issues as well, but I've never really had any problems with their outgoing mail server.

They're all standard POP email accounts btw.
 
Just a quick question. If I cancel my Afrihost account before the 25th, I'll still have access till end of the month but won't get charged the following month?
