Mail Issues: Website Not Sending Emails

[meissen]

Alright guys, here's the jiggy-3-2-1. vBulletin is not sending any emails out. I don't know why yet, I just know it has to do with the server. I'm going to try and figure it out, but it might be a little while before it works.

No worries, The ones that need email reports the most are probably the moderators, and they really don't need to know what we are really doing anyways...

Thanks for the heads up B. And all your hard work.

Alright, email is working again!

[SoulTerror]

Good job man!

[WMCCjames]

Are you sure it's working? Doesn't seem to be here.

[meissen]

Alright having issues again, unfortunately. I don't know what happened, now all the sudden I can't view my email in thunderbird. On the flip side, I can see one email sitting waiting on the server queue to be sent to AOL but it won't work.

This is the sucky part about dedicated servers, when shit breaks the only person to figure it out is yourself.

I know what's wrong with it! AOL!!!!

[meissen]

Actually, Wade's right. AOL is somewhat the problem. The mail is being delivered (as far as I know) to everyone else. Apparently AOL blocks emails from people that don't have reverse DNS set up. Of course, this is something I have absolutely no clue how to set up.

Update: Ok, comcast.net is blocking for the same reason also. Don't worry, all are in queue waiting to be delivered.

[GETGONE]

I'm getting mine! In my best announcer type voice "American Online, It's Knowledge, It's Power" switch to frantic user voice "IT SUCKS!!!!"

[WMCCjames]

They seem to be trickling through comcast now

[meissen]

Are they? Yours, James, are specifically the comcast.net ones that are bouncing.

[WMCCjames]

Nice!

Yeah, freak, stop subscribing to so many threads, damn I had like 30 new emails for new private messages, new replies to the thread, etc.
