E-mail problems Subscribe to comments to this posting

A strange thing happened two days ago: I sent an e-mail to an alias that I usually use with some friends to talk each other, a sort of mailing list, and unexpectedly the mail server answered some minutes later with a "failure notice":

"I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)"

Very strange. A short control of mail server configuration didn't reveal any anomaly, the e-mail alias seemed to be correct. I was going to send the message again, knowing sometimes the web simply doesn't work, when my attention was attracted to the dates of the last messages blocked by the antispam of labs@ninibelabs.org. Uncannily the spam completely disappeared from the end of July...Very very strange.
At this point I called the technical assistance and I found that at the the end of July, a new mail server was installed and configured, but no aliases and no e-mail addresses were recreated on it. The result was that for about six months any mail recieved from a @ninibelabs.org address (mainly labs@ninibelabs.org) was stored on the new mail server, but still read on the old one. Coming back to Cthulhu Fhtagn!, found out the unwilling deceit, I found many messages that I wasn't able to answer. I beg your pardon. I will answer personally to all messages I was able to recover, but if you have written to labs@ninbelabs.org in the last 6-8 months, it's better that you rewrite to me and if you do not receive any answer you can contact my personal e-mail: simonere [at] bls [dot] it

    Is this game ever going to continue in development? I've seen no mapped activity for nearly a year. Is this project abandoned? If this is the case I'd like to know why the site is still here just teasing people.

    Hi, the project is still alive. We have a lot of things to complete and very few time to work to the project, but we're still developing it. I know that the website seems quite abandon (actually we just completed the Polish and Spanish version, thanks to Mateusz and Guillermo) simply because I prefer to focus all the efforts in the development. However I'll try to give you soon more previews and I hope to complete soon the beta version of the game. Thanks for your interest.

    Ciao. Volevo sapere a che livello è lo sviluppo del gioco. Vedo che il contatore è fermo sul 59% e ho pensato che il progetto fosse stato abbandonato. Sono un amante dei Miti e mi dispiacerebbe molto se il gioco venisse abbandonato. Tuttavia vorrei sapere più o meno come state messi se siete ancora determinati. O per lo meno se il lavoro è ancora al 59%. Per sapere, avete bisogno di aiuto?

    No, no, we're still alive...
    Ciao. Il progetto non è abbandonato, ma procede molto a rilento. Come ho scritto anche in alcuni post precedenti, lavoriamo a questo progetto nel tempo libero e spesso il lavoro è interrotto per lunghi periodi a causa di vari impegni personali. Forse la pubblicazione di questo sito web doveva essere fatta a lavori quasi ultimati, ma sulle ali dell'entusiasmo ho pensato di poter gestire sia l'aggiornamento del sito (contatore e blog) sia lo sviluppo del gioco.
    Grazie per la tua offerta di aiuto. Attualmente ci manca principalmente una risorsa grafica perchè coloro i quali hanno disegnato l'immagine in home page e le icone dei seguaci non collaborano più al progetto e il lavoro grafico da fare è ancora molto. Perciò se sei un grafico saresti il benvenuto. Un altro fronte sul quale ci servirebbe un po' di aiuto è la generazione di contenuti per il sito web pubblico (alcune traduzioni, scrivere alcuni contenuti riguardanti i Miti, ecc.).
    Se sei interessato per i dettagli contattami pure a info-it@cthulhugame.it.
    Grazie per l'interesse.
