Plazes no more
I know you're not supposed to kick a dog when it's down, and frankly this is more like shooting puppies in a barrel (to butcher a metaphor), but this is so bad I had to comment.
After grumbling about plazes and having the desktop client crash on me, I decided enough was enough and went over to their website to terminate my account. You can probably guess what happened next: yep, the 'Yes I'm sure, terminate my account' button fails.
It's ok though, as there's an email address listed to provide feedback to plazes if they screwed up big time or did something to upset me: uninstall@plazes.com. So I thought I'd do the decent thing and at least let them know. I'm nice like that, you see. Except after emailing I got this reply:
Final-Recipient: rfc822; uninstall@plazes.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host mail.plazes.com[85.10.195.117] said: 550
<uninstall@plazes.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local
recipient table (in reply to RCPT TO command)
Ah, you couldn't make it up. Maybe I should start charging for this bug finding service I'm providing?
