They stopped hosting about 15 months ago:

"[...] so we made the decision to close our email service down on 30th 
November 2017" -- https://www.vodafone.co.nz/email/

IIRC if you set up an autofoward on your @paradise.net.nz / 
@vodafone.co.nz / @clear.net.nz / ... address *before* the closed down 
the hosting, they'd keep honouring that for some time.  But the 
recommendation was still for users to update their email addresses 
everywhere to the new ones.

I suspect any email addresses @vodafone.co.nz / @clear.net.nz should 
probably just be regarded as fairly stale at this point.... and anyone 
still using them (eg, mailing list subscriptions) should be encouraged 
to update them to a more current email address.  (It wouldn't surprise 
me if the email forwarding gets turned off as well, at some point in the 
next year or two; until this follow up message I wondered if that was 
what had happened.)
