Sounds odd do these delivery failure things, I always get a delivery confirmation email the same day I send my answers

Me too, I use outlook express and my ISP standard email

Haven't had issue 20 confirmation yet but I often get it the next day when I email in the evening

Mine as well. I use BT. Ones sent from work through the server there were returned as well.

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this ... but here goes.

I have just checked my hotmail spam folder and found not one but two of my previous competition entries to Real People,have been sent on the same day from a guy at Nat mags to real people magazine....but appeared in MY spam folder even though the forwarded emails were not addressed to me.
My original answers as well as my name and address etc show up on the email. Has anyone else had anything like this ?

:eek: WHAT :eek:

Entering competitions at work !!! - I've heard it all now lol:T

I entered real people issue 20 comp and had no confirmation email yet either.

lingo_2

Yes - I have had 3 of these. They were entries for issues 1, 6 and 13.

I have emailed real people about this and will let you know if I get any response.

No idea what it is.

I had the exact same email too

laura2506

My email was indentical to Alexbe !!!

I have copied my email and sent it to Mark Crawford, the guy whose email address shows up on my message.
I'll let you all know if I get a reply. Its just odd that all the messages are dated 16/05/07 that Mark sent them on to real people even though they are all old entries !!!

Very puzzling. At least I am not alone in the matter.

I had an email like that aswell. Mine was for issue 10. I was really puzzled by this. I think I will email them aswell and see what it is all about.
