It has been brought to our attention that mail to hotmail.com, for some accounts, has been bouncing back to TFL with the notice that hotmail.com is blocking it. As hotmail.com is a huge e-mail service, we are holding all TFL updates until we can have TFL unblocked. The senior staff is also currently looking into confirming with other large free e-mail hosts (Gmail; Yahoo) that the Network is not being black-listed.

All TFL updates are being held. Please do not worry about troubled fanlistings being removed or whether your form has gotten through at this stage. Once we have figured out and resolved the e-mail problems, forms will likely be re-sent, or we will have a leniancy period for those e-mail addresses that have recently had problems.

We apologise for these recent problems, we’ve been rather surprised by them too. We will update you as we gather more data about the problems, as well as what solutions we will be seeking (there are several that are free, but a few that may cost the Network financially). Thank you for your patience!

We have a thread over at the board about this issue. Please see here if you have any questions.

Did You Know?

If your fanlisting is the only one for that subject in the network, you do not need to specify that it has been cross-listed in other categories (although you can if you wish). However, if your fanlisting is not the only one for that subject in the network, you must specify which categories your fanlisting covers. For example, if your fanlisting is listed in Authors/Writers and Musicians, but not Actors, you must state on your fanlisting that your FL is for the person as an author/writer and as a musician.
