diamond_geezer Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 We had a wee glitch yesterday at work . External emails not sent or received . Systems department told everybody and sorted it , because that's what they do. I emailed the club 2 weeks ago , about something that would be revenue for them . No matter what it was . I realised yesterday that I hadn't had an answer or acknowledgement . So I sent an email enquiring what the state of play was. Did get an answer . Apparently a problem with emails . For 2 weeks ? I'm not a systems chap , but is that remotely likely ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a systems chap , but is that remotely likely ? Possible? Yes. Likely? I don't buy it. "Problem with emails" means that they read it and moved on. The club still haven't got back to me about my email many moons ago regarding a security vulnerability that exists on their new site. I know for certain that it still exists. Someone more technically gifted than me could probably run rings around the club. I'm a good c**t though, so won't bother trying. I certainly won't be using their online shop any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm willing to bet diamond_geezer, still goes to hit the end of the keyboard, to return to the start of the next line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_geezer Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I confess I don't enjoy the typing lark. That's what secretaries are for, amongst other things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a problem limited to certain addresses, then that could drag on if it isn't affecting everyone. As for the Killie shop vulnerability, you'd be better off getting in touch with Centrum Web (Active Office), as they seem to develop and host the site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a full time team of people to fix s**t like this within hours. If you are a business you could loose serious money because of IT failures. On the other hand as mentioned above it could have gone into an unmonitored in-box. So it is possible but doesn't say much about how the business is run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it wouldn't surprise me that their mail was gubbed for two weeks, given how disjointed the club is, i think the simplest answer is probably the truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
