Email Notifications Failing (mostly Telstra)

Hello everyone. Seems there is an issue with Telstra (possible others) blocking email from our server. If you are trying to sign up I would suggest a different email if possible. If you're trying to reset your password and it fails please use the Contact Us page:

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      Hopefully this is not a new trend, if anyone else gets unsolicited spam in their pm box, please report the username to admin or the mods and they will be gone.

        I got one and immediately banned that spammer, I noticed he was pming others while I was banning it so I expect a fair few got the pm. I know golfkart was getting one as I wiped the spammer off the forum.

          A lot of spammers are now using "bio-bots" (low paid humans from areas where pay is very low). They can easily get around tests designed to stop automated spamming programs and they don't cost much. All you can do is weed them out quickly so it isn't worth their while trying - it is an example ofthe classic predator/prey evolution principle in action

            I got excited when i noticed i had a PM.. It's kinda like getting an SMS message, thinking somebody loves you (figure of speech) and then finding out it's Telstra trying to flog you some deal.. haha.

                  or vodafone telling you that if you recharge more often (pay them more money) then you'll get bonus credit . they really need a anti spam sms based firewall for phones.
