Problematic email providers.
Hotmail and Sunrise drop email from oxbridgezurich.org.
Therefore you can't use a Hotmail or Sunrise address to receive
our announcements.
In the past, we have had problems with GMX mail (including .gmx.com, .gmx.net, .gmx.ch and gmx.de).
The problem was traced to GMX's failure to conform to Internet specifications for email. At present,
we have a workaround for this, so you may register with a GMX email address. However, we recommend
you not use GMX, because its cavalier attitude to conformance with standards means that it might
at any time do something that would block our email again.
Other web email providers, like
Yahoo and Go, have never lost any messages, as far as we know.
The Oxford & Cambridge Dining Club of Zurich is run by its members, all of whom are busy people
who can spare little time for organising Club activities. Consequently, we need as many members
as possible to participate in arranging events. The administrative overhead of arranging an
event is almost nil, because programs on this website handle the task of notifying members
of the time and place. “Arranging an event” consists, often, of making two phone calls
to a restaurant, and typing a few words into a form on this website. If an event is
more complex than a dinner, two or more members will share the task. If you arrange, or
help to arrange, one event every two years, you will have done your share.
