Hi Hugh, > 2. Clive's provider has not updated the MX record for his domain to point > to the new server, so the mail still goes to the old server.
That tallies with my off-list email to Peter yesterday, CC'd Clive. I was pointing out this list had suspended Clive's subscription because of bounces. Each bounce was due to the MX host for the domain refusing to accept the email because the LUG hadn't authenticated. In other words, it was as if the MX record was misconfigured to be an SMTP server that Clive should be using to send email rather than the incoming SMTP server others should use to email Clive. As expected, the CC to Clive bounced. :-) I've never been clear who provides the email system which Clive is using. If it's GoDaddy then, as I wrote to Peter yesterday, an Internet search found https://uk.godaddy.com/help/check-and-manage-my-mx-records-7590 which suggests the two DNS MX RRs should be 0 smtp.secureserver.net 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net This page gives IMAP and outgoing SMTP server configuration. https://uk.godaddy.com/help/server-and-port-settings-for-workspace-email-6949 swaks(1) can be useful to give command-line SMTP email tests for someone else to run and feedback the result. Similarly fetchmail(1) for POP3 or IMAP. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2023-07-04 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
