As you may know, TFL has been having a number of problems with sending e-mail to Hotmail.com addresses. After further investigation of this problem we have decided to ban the use of Hotmail.com addresses (and its sub-services, hotmail.co.uk; msn.com; live.com). This will affect all applications sent after Sunday May 20, 2007, and all future forms sent by Hotmail users.

Our issues with Hotmail are long-standing and no satisfactory resolution is currently in sight. Since we can not guarantee that TFL e-mails will reach our visitors, and because we have tried all viable solutions to fix this problem, we feel that banning Hotmail addresses is the only solution available to us.

We are in the process of informing fanlisting owners with Hotmail.com e-mail addresses of our problems with the service and how this will affect future interaction with TFL. If you do have a Hotmail.com e-mail address we request that you update your e-mail address at the Network as quickly as possible and supply us with a valid, working non-Hotmail address to list your current and upcoming fanlistings under.

To do this, please e-mail us at emailchanges@thefanlistings.org FROM your current Hotmail.com account, and include your new e-mail address in the body of your e-mail. Please do not use the Change E-mail forms — there is no guarantee that they will send you the appropriate verification e-mail. Please e-mail us directly from your TFL Hotmail account.

If you choose to keep your fanlistings under your Hotmail.com address:

• You risk not receiving important network notices regarding your fanlisting and network changes.
• You will not be able to apply for new fanlistings. Hotmail.com addresses will be rejected by our application form.
• TFL will not take responsibility for non-delivery of TFL e-mail to your inbox. For example, if your fanlistings are troubled and the troubles notice does not arrive in your inbox due to our problems with Hotmail, TFL will not be held responsible if your fanlistings are removed from the network when no troubles response is received from you.

Please Note: We have done our best to contact the 890 Hotmail users listed in our database. If you have not received an urgent notice from TFL regarding Hotmail usage, then your e-mail address bounced for reasons related to: account inactivity, full mailbox, or invalid address.

We have included a full text copy of the e-mail behind the cut for those of you who have not received this message.

This is a announcement update of TFL Updates for the Academia, Actors, Actresses, Adult, Advertising/TV Channels, Albums, Animals, Animation, Arts and Design, Authors/Writers, Awards, Calendar Events, Characters: Book/Movie, Characters: TV, Comics, Companies, Computer Miscellany and Internet, Directors/Producers, Episodes, Fan Works, Fashion/Beauty, Food/Drinks, Games, General, History/Royalty, Hobbies and Recreation, Literature, Magazines/Newspapers, Miscellaneous, Models, Movies, Music Miscellany, Musicians: Bands/Groups, Musicians: Female, Musicians: Male, Mythology/Religion, Nature, Objects, People Miscellany, Personalities, Places, Politics and Organisations, Radio, Relationships: Book/Movie, Relationships: Real Life, Relationships: TV, Songs: Bands/Groups, Songs: Bands/Groups 0-M, Songs: Bands/Groups N-Z, Songs: Female Solo, Songs: Male Solo, Songs: Various, Sports, Sports Entertainment, Stage/Theatre, Toys/Collectibles, Transportation, TV Shows, TV/Movie/Book Miscellany, Webmasters, Websites category.

Good news! After several test e-mails, TFL e-mails are finally getting where they belong! We are expecting TFL updates to get back up and running shortly. We do apologise for the extended delay with resolving this issue – as Ally said earlier, we were waiting to hear back from e-mail providers and were unable to hurry them along. The senior staff is very grateful to Ally for all her work on this issue!

A warning to all Hotmail.com users – while e-mail is getting through, Hotmail is placing the e-mail into the “Junk Mail” folder. Please be sure to check your Junk Mail folder regularly for TFL mail! Should you find any TFL e-mail in the junk folder, you will need to select “Not Junk” on the e-mail to ensure future e-mail is sent straight to the Inbox.

Staffers will be re-sending e-mail to Hotmail.com users that was sent in early April (before we realised TFL was being blocked).

It will be good to be back up and running again; we have all missed the updates! Be prepared for a busy updating period! :)

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.
