There was a small PHP error on the new server.
E-mails are working once again.

Though some people with hotmail, yahoo, and gmail might see a delay as they just put a temporary block on us because the volume coming out of our mail servers to their machines they think we're spamming them.

We are working on getting SNOWESTONLINE onto the "White" lists of all the major providers so they will not be blocked.

Our problem is that when we send out a PM, it generates 35,000 e-mails, and regardless of the content, the major players (AOL, Hotmail, MSN, ect) are blocking them because of volume.

Once we have gone through the White List process, then this problem will be resolved.

No, no, no.....check your reverse DNS records, numb-nuts.

rDNS is not resolving properly.

And you want us to pay for this level of ineptitude?

LOL.

just an update i am getting notifications now but i am getting double emails now for subscribes posts. getting just one for the pm's guess i can't complain but if this crap is still happening when you want us to pay i may have to reconsider my position.

if you guys are going to charge us it better be PERFECT here or you will have a lot to answer for and you will be loosing the rest of the people.

Yes, it responds nicely to ICMP.

But as I understand it if Reverse DNS (rDNS) is not configured properly by their upstream ISP any email server that performs a Reverse DNS check in incoming messages will reject those incoming messages. Large providers usually have this check enabled (AOl, Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc..) and increasingly Enterprise servers are doing the same.

So, when I go to AOL and use their tool to do a rDNS lookup, I get something other than the source domain (snowestonline.com).

It's very possible there is something well beyond my DNS understanding occurring here (i.e. some funky email launching service, etc..), but if that's the case it's easily beyond my understanding of DNS & rDNS.

;-)

MD.

NOTE: mail.snowestonline.com is not the host I suspected it to be, but the concept still stand for most environments. ;-)
