EE (Everything Everywhere), the company that owns Freeserve, Orange, and Wanadoo, will be closing Orange Email on May 31, 2017.
Any email addresses at the following domains will no longer be valid after May 31st.
Fsbusiness.co.uk
Fslife.co.uk
Fsmail.net
Fsworld.co.uk
Fsnet.co.uk
Orange.net
Orangehome.co.uk
Wanadoo.co.uk
Freeserve.co.uk
After May 31, these will all be converted to hard bounces. As you know, spikes in bounces can hurt your deliverability so you will want to take a look at your database and make sure you address any of these domains prior to the end of the month.
If you have any subscribers with these domains in your list, you may want to reach out to them personally (if they are just a few and worth the ROI), or send out a few segmented emails asking them to update their contact information.
On May 31st, simply remove any remaining addresses in your list.
