Form Mail Misery

Do you know the saying 'No news is good news'? Well, today I beg to differ!
I noticed yesterday that the website had stopped sending email forms posted from deep within it's bowels.
Infact it's a problem that we've had on 4 or 5 previous occassions. It's easily cured, a simple IIS restart on the webserver, but the problem is you've no way of knowing when its bust until sometime after the event. Well..... usually the IIS fix does the trick but this time round the server threw a paddy and heaved it's .asp functionality out of the cot, covered it's head with a blanket and refused to play ball.
Normally, and I stress normally, I don't do stress when things like this happen, I mean stuff happens, especially when Microsoft are involved. But why now? why today, just when I'd made an appeal for online submissions to the 'Recollections Project'.
I do believe it's called the law of the sod!

Happy browsing
