Despite appeals like the one above, people still don't always have working email address on their account.

PLEASE make sure your email address is current.

This is a hot issue because as we run a server we need to have up-to-date databases. If we email dead accounts we can be blacklisted by an ISP. This is complicated by over-zealous ISPs and some (like Hughes.net) that are run in a way that violates internet standards making it hard to resolve the situation.

A correct database is good to have anyway, but with email delivery getting more and more fraught with problems this issue will not go away. Next year a new program will be introduced of having to verify and keep email addresses up to date for your accounts to remain active. So I ask that you get into the habit now of making sure your address is up to date.

Thank you for your assistance.
