Zipadedoda of Dart

Thu 31 Jul 2008 21:15

I have been having problems now for the past 3 months getting Mailasail to post my Blog e-mails. Typically one out of three fails to arrive. I am not sure if this is an Iridium problem or a Mailasail problem. BUT, either way it is wasting a massive amount of Air time (money) for no result. The latest one for Musket Cove has been sent four times and it has still not shown up. It seems that any e-mails with pictures are now a problem with Iridium/Mailasail. It would be interesting to hear if any other users are having similar problems.

I am hopeful that Ed Wildgoose will come up with a solution soon......before this bankrupts me!

BTW: Having a cracking sail to MacKay from Port Vila, Just approaching the Grand Passage in New Caledonia......................
