For the last 2-3 weeks clients of Grimpond Marketing and My SEO Guy may have been suffering email issues and bounce backs. This is because our server(IP) was added to an internet SPAM blacklist.

Finally up and running….
At long long last… we have connection and phone, and all things required to service our clients.
It has been a battle, and very inconvenient for us, and appallingly bad for our clients. But Telstra have come to the party and supplied the promised landline, and established us with a solid and reliable internet connection.
