You could temporarily change the email address. I haven't used the
form, but I assume the email address is hidden in the code on site.

Hmmm, it's all set to the list of settings you gave me originally. The
email worked for months OK and stopped working without settings
changes. Now they say that @ CNAME should be removed, which goes
directly against what you told me in your early emails about this.
Anyway, I'll try what they suggest and keep pestering them, but their
web page for setting the DNS is so s-l-o-w the browser gives up half
the time.
Slightly better news: my Epson Stylus 880 gave up the ghost earlier
this week. This has Epson code sets and both USB and parallel ports,
plus I have a large stock of cartridges for it (worth more than the
reapir cost). Happily, my son and I worked out it was the "built in
Epson obsolescence" (i.e. it counts the number of times you can
supposedly change ink cartridges before the sponge inside resembles a
BP oil slick) and although the reset sequence we worked out from info
on the web didn't work, a repair shop in Colwyn Bay did, so now it's
working again!
Handy hint for anyone with an Epson inkjet which does like this - id
your printer packs up without warning and flashes its "no good any
more" sequence of lights (varies from printer to printer) it's reached
its useful life according to Seiko-Epson. What they don't tell you is
that the printer hasn't, the "sponge" mechanism beneath the print head
probably has. Find an Epson repair centre, they'll fix it for you, it
cost me £23 although DIY fixes exist on the web for many Epson
printers who go through this, to save you throwing away a printer
which might yet have life in it.
