Problematic email providers.
In the past, we have had problems with Hotmail, Sunrise, and GMX mail (including .gmx.com, .gmx.net, .gmx.ch and gmx.de),
which rejected emails from oxbridgezurich.org. In all cases, the cause was traced to failure of these providers to conform to Internet specifications for email.
At present, we have workarounds for all of them, so you may register with any email address. However, we recommend
that you avoid using the above email providers if possible, because their cavalier attitude to conformance with standards means that they might
at any time do something that would block our email again.
Other web email providers, like
Yahoo and Gmail (Google), have never lost any messages, as far as we know.
The Oxford & Cambridge 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.
