Update June 10: I was recently made aware that some e-mails sent to and/or from this website were not sent/received as they should. I have now managed to find the reason (have changed some settings and done a lot of testing) and the SEND/RECEIVE function is now working again! I will however have an eye on any uidentified problems in the coming weeks. If you still experience problems of any kind, please contact me using the contact form here (yes, it is also working again). Thank you for your patience.
