The NFED server now has the latest Email validation; DKIM, SPF & DMARC working correctly, which should help to keep Emails sent from the NFED out of the spam/junk folders.
Emails include: Classified’s advert details, classifieds enquiries, event details confirmation & directory listing confirmations.
Shopping cart & Newsletter Emails are sent from RomanCart, which as far as I can see have not implemented these validation systems, but I am chasing them up.
Replies to enquiries are sent via standard Email systems so are unaffected. If you have sent an enquiry but haven’t received a reply, please check your spam folders.
Update 26-08-21No rejected sent Emails apart from those with incorrect Email addresses. Please check your spelling before sending!
Here’s a few rejected Emails from the server logs.
The mail server could not deliver mail to *******@icloud.con
*******@icloud.com user is over quota
*******@gmail.com The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.
The mail server could not deliver mail to *******@aol.con
*******@yahoo.co.uk Requested mail action aborted, mailbox not found
If you have an advert that is no longer required, items are sold or you have found what you are looking for, please remove the advert & help keep the classifieds tidy.
To remove the ad, just click on the Edit or Delete link at the bottom. If you have forgotten your password, the system will send it to you. If all else fails, we can remove the ad for you.
Old ads are a major frustration for everyone. They waste time & they push current ads down the list. It is much better for everyone if they are removed rather than marked as sold.

Bank Transfer payments & cheques have now been added as a payment option alongside credit/debit card & Paypal on the NFED shopping cart making it very easy for those that bank online or through their banking app or prefer not to pay at all online.
The payment details are shown on the order confirmation screen & will be sent by Email when the order is complete.
The order will remain pending until the payment is made & confirmed. Cheque must be cleared before the order is processed.

We have now permanently removed the NFED Equestrian Facebook Group. To continue receiving NFED Facebook notifications Like & Follow the page: www.facebook.com/nfed.co.uk & please tell your friends to do the same. This does not affect the NFED Website or Newsletter, the NFED is completely independent. The Facebook & Twitter pages are only provided to notify social media users of the latest posts, news, events & featured ads. The group was created as temporary stop gap when our page was removed by Facebook. The new page works far better for us than the group, so the group was no longer required & having both was very confusing for people. This allows us to concentrate on running the NFED efficiently as possible & sharing the latest updates on the Facebook page.
This seems to be a recent problem with the iPhone HEIC photo format which is not recognized by web servers.
The device should convert the photo to a widely compatible JPG, but not all photos are being converted.
Change your iPhone/pad settings to make it automatically convert photos to a more compatible format when transferring.
Follow the instructions below to do so:
Go to Settings > Photos.
Scroll down to the Transfer to Mac or PC section.
Tap Automatic.
As with all photo problems, don't struggle you can always send them over by Email, WhatsApp or Facebook & they will be uploaded for you.
Like most of our users, we have horses to ride & look after, so cannot be in the office all day. It is best to contact us by email & remember to include any advert or reference numbers.

Since the server change, I’ve been monitoring Emails sent through the NFED & all seems to be working very well. The only ISP now having issues is NTL which has been Virgin media since 2005. I doubt if the NTL servers will be updating very often if at all, so if you have an ntlworld email address, it’s probably time to change it!
Monitoring the sent Emails has highlighted the number of misspelt addresses. If you have an advert, you can log in & check it. If you have sent enquiries, the advertiser will not be able to get back to you. Please type carefully & always double check or it won't work.
Finally, there are quite a lot of adverts not being approved. Please read the guidelines & pricing & remember that Free ads must be clearly priced to qualify. NO PRICE = NO FREE AD.
UPDATE 30-03-21 - BT Internet now seem to be accepting Emails ok. If you have an NFED advert with a BT Email address & think you have missed enquiries, please contact us by Email editor@nfed.co.uk & the back-ups can be forwarded on to you.
Please remember to check your adverts by sending an enquiry to yourself. If you don’t receive it, please see - Advert Enquiries & Email Problems www.nfed.co.uk/q.php?faq=49 for further help.
If you have sent an enquiry & not received a reply, please try sending again or text/phone if the advert has a phone number.
The entire NFED has now moved to the new server. The domain name is the same, but the IP address has changed. This may cause some issues with old pages held in your device history or if your service provider is slow in updating caches.
If you have any problems, please first refresh the page & clear your history. If you are still having problems, please get in touch.
The new server is running the latest OS, has more memory & faster processor, but some site software had to be changed to match the new software.
Classifieds – No changes required
Services Directory – Replaced with the latest version but links & references preserved
Event Diary – Updated by the software company to maintain our custom updates.
FAQs - Replaced with the latest version.
News pages - No changes required
Site News - Replaced with a new blog.
Phonebook – incompatible & removed.
Events are starting to come in again so the timing couldn’t have been better & it’s a great relief to have it all finished.
A very successful few days with the server change & the site is now running on the new server.Classifieds working. Services Directory upgraded & working. News Pages working. Help pages upgraded & working. Event Diary upgraded & working. Forms upgraded & working
The site news page has been replaced with this new Blog.
We now have a faster, more powerful server. All software is running on the latest versions so should be good for a few more years yet. There are still some links to update & minor styling issues, but that can all be completed over the next few days.
Hi all
I’ve just had a manic few weeks preparing to move the entire NFED onto a new server. This wasn't something I had intended to do, but it had to be done if we wanted to keep the site going into the future. A big part of the work was updating the software so that it would actually run on the new server, the old news page wasn’t going to work so has been replaced with this blog.
As a blog, it can have categories, so I’ve added this “Behind the Scenes” for anyone that’s interested. I may post a few photos of what we are up to down here in the New Forest.
So to start, here’s a photo of me & my boy Star so that you know who you are dealing with.
A couple of old boys together.
