Thanks all replies.

The email address was on their notepaper as


so I shall have to check with them tomorrow.

Useful email checker at www.mailtester.com came from freeserve support.

In OE 6 I sent an email to a bonafide address but it was rejected and

The reason for the problem:

Any ideas please?
Thanks

As a customer of (formerly) Freeserve (co.uk), personal email addresses
originally took the form of or
where xxx could be anything you wanted and yyy was the actual "username".
Therefore you can use anything before the @ and have multiple email
addresses for the whole family.
I may be wrong, but I don't think freeserve.co.uk was ever used for
customer email, only email directly to the ISP.
Domain names/Webspace via Freeserve originally took the form of
http://www.username.fsnet.co.uk/ or http://www.username.fsmail.co.uk/

As hdcity.freeserve.co.uk appears not to exist, and Age Concern themselves
appear to use then you really need to check you have any
part of the email address correct.
