Use of email forwarders

≈ Comments Off on Use of email forwarders

We’ve finally got to the bottom of the issue we have with email providers such as Gmail, Hotmail and Outlook.

Where a WWFF user has these listed directly in their profile, there is not a problem.

However, if the WWFF user has a redirectable email address (eg @wia.org.au, @darc.de) which is auto-forwarded to the third party provider, then the email is frequently rejected – this is because WWFF email appears to come a server other than WWFF, and is therefore considered as spam. This is not something that we at WWFF have any control over.

The solution is quite simple: please do not specify a forwarder email address in your WWFF profile, but provide the real mailbox address.

But in the meanwhile, please do not complain that you are not receiving WWFF emails…

eQSL.cc is a partner of WWFF. It’s a very green way of QSLing, very fast and with many possibilities. Disadvantage: eQSL is not valid to get awards (except those from eQSL). But be honest, how many of your paper cards are you really using to apply for an award ?

eQSL is free if you choose for a standard eQSL lay-out (most of them are really not very attractive).

If you want to upload your own eQSL lay-out the Bronze level costs you 12$ a year. Higher levels gives you more benefits.

Enter your callsign to see if you have an eQSL waiting!

How to eQSL correct for portable activations ? In this tutorial we will describe two different ways to eQSL : one if you send always the same eQSL lay-out, a second one if you make a different lay-out for every activation. Continue reading →

In my first one and a half week as EU Coordinator, I have seen some confusion about adding new areas to the WWFF program. We can´t run a global Flora Fauna Program without rules. From my point of view, we have a few simple rules in World Wide Flora Fauna. Most of them from the very beginning. See: GLOBAL RULES. In this Article I will try to sort out a few issues and questions.

1.When does an area qualify for a new number ?

Most of the areas qualifying for WWFF can be found at https://www.protectedplanet.net/

Not all areas in Protected Planet can be used, it has to be in one of the following Categories :

  • IUCN (Catagoty Ia to VI)

  • Natura2000

  • Natural World Heritage Sites

  • Biosphere Reserves

  • Ramsar

  • Marine Protected Areas

Each National Program can adopt up to 200 new references per calendar year.

The National Coordinator in each Contry have the mandate to decide which areas.

Activators have to apply proposals for new refs to their National Coordinator. Continue reading →
