More issues with brands websites

Yesterday I posted about issues with one of my favourite brands website and mailers and today another one of my favourite brands have similar issues.

One of the local IT Law firms Buys, Inc. have a IT Law blog which I read every now and again, but when I went to their website today and clicked on the link for "IT Law Blog" I definately did not find what I was expecting!

I got a holding page of the ISP where they host coming up and clicking on the links on the holding page just brings up 404 errors, oh lovely!

Using the contact form on the site bounces due to SPF issues, so Reinhardt did not get my mail and it bounced! Mimecast correctly bounced the message because titan.cybersmart.co.za is not allowed to send mail from my personal domain, which is correct. The guys who developed the site for Buys, Inc. should have rather generated the mail from a @buys.co.za email address instead of forging the from email address when submitting the form.

In the past when doing website contact forms I always send it from an email address like noreply@domain.name in question rather than forging the email address.
