Email is not being sent to notify of postings

Post by **doc** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 6:48 am

hpw,

Let SiQDiz work the problem through. Auto responder system seems to be working for other members. It may be on your end, but give us a chance to go through the database to see what we find. It'll sort out.

I am also @gmail, so if you need to send test messages I will let you know where they go.

I'm thinking this is a one off database issue. The magic of computers is on us again. Everybody is getting auto responses except hpw (I think) and his settings are apparently correct. But the STF database has gotten quite large - almost a gigabyte. So, once in a while something gets hinked up and has to be manually reset within the database. Or, sometimes , there is something on the user end, maybe the connection provider that prevents things acting right. But we almost always find it. I was recently quite proud of correcting an issue - 100% my fault, BTW - that was almost 2 years old. Not a big deal, only affected 1 person who was completely cool about the screw up. But, we got it fixed!

We'll solve this one, too.

this is a spamfilter issue, working on it now to resolve this.

edit:

Some people have mail warnings set to this thread, all messages are delivered with success to the email addresses ending with hotmail.com and gmail.com

The problem is on your side, not ours.

It doesn’t look like a global filter, must be a g-mail per user filter?

best is to remove all IP addresses / dns names and email addresses from your post to prevent spam

galazkiewicz · Post by **galazkiewicz** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 11:32 am

But my point is, I don't have admin@STF in my address book. So I suspect the problem is not domain specific.

The message header reads bottom to top. Local host 127.0.0.1 hands it off to machine STF for outbound, google mail server does a reverse DNS on the incoming message (assuming the machine STF or the IP address isn't on a black list) and passes it to the mail server 10.141.70.11 where G-mail accepts it.

Spammers all ready know what BBS mail looks like and I doubt anyone could hide the location or mail servers or mail generators.

It would be simple to copy a notification message and put it into one's bayesian filter.
Then send the message to themselves (this is assuming good mail is judged by outbound).

any advice on how to fix?

What would I look for in my spam filter to correct?

You'll have to find this out for yourself really. We only support stf.com related problems. You should speak to your email provider about this. Good luck!

hpw,

Chances are, there is some setting on your computer, probably in your email filter that is rejecting the STF mail. Check there.
