Conti Financial Services hit by problem emails

An email sent yesterday to its business contacts seems to have been affected by problems with the servers of some of the intermediaries being mailed. The problem was then compounded when complaints came in about the inflow of

electronic mail that some contacts were receiving.

CFS recommend that financial advisers (and anyone else!) using a server within their office that runs a Microsoft program called ‘Small Business Server’ take the following immediate action.
