Recent server attack causing emails to be undelivered to BFP
Due to a recent cyber attack on our server, we have had to institute a tighter filter on incoming email. This may result in messages that were once accepted, especially those from popular accounts like Hotmail, AOL, Earthlink, Juno, etc. to be rejected as spam.
If you sent us a message and didn't receive a response, please call our office at 321-752-4650 and provide us with your email address. We will "whitelist" your address and your future messages will be delivered to the intended recipients.
We are attempting to adjust our server settings to again receive all incoming email and apologize for any inconvenience this incident may cause.
