Emails from my system to you

A couple of days ago the outgoing emails system on my site was hacked. This meant that my webhosts put a ban on all my outgoing emails. This included notification of Password Resets and the like.

With their help my system has now been cleaned. But the slight downside is that I have had to introduce a feature called CAPTCHA to the Contact Form. This requires the user to carry out a simple task to prove he/she isn’t a robot. Something we have to live with, sorry.

Cheers,
