I believe they stopped email *hosting*, but as far as I know, still offer email forwarding. Someone has kindly provided a contact though, so I'm talking to them about it now. -- Richard On 14/02/2019 13.56, Stan Rivett wrote:

Hi,

Can anyone on the list put me in contact with an email administrator at Vodafone? We (SMX) have been seeing mail delivery problems to Vodafone properties (vodafone.co.nz http://vodafone.co.nz, clear.net.nz http://clear.net.nz, etc) from several locations for the past day or so.

Please contact me off list.

I'm pretty sure even email forwarding will stop working at the end of the month.

IIRC if you set up an autofoward on your @paradise.net.nz / @vodafone.co.nz / @clear.net.nz / ... address *before* the closed down the hosting, they'd keep honouring that for some time. But the recommendation was still for users to update their email addresses everywhere to the new ones.

I suspect any email addresses @vodafone.co.nz / @clear.net.nz should probably just be regarded as fairly stale at this point.... and anyone still using them (eg, mailing list subscriptions) should be encouraged to update them to a more current email address. (It wouldn't surprise me if the email forwarding gets turned off as well, at some point in the next year or two; until this follow up message I wondered if that was what had happened.)
