I just re-tested MochaMail and it now works fine with MyRealBox. Looking
back at my email records, this problem existed about a month ago. I also
recall another incident around this same time when I tried to sign up with
an online storage site. I had them send the email verification to my
MyRealBox address. Problem is that I never got that either, it bounced too.
MyRealBox just started implementing this feature about 2 months ago. They
had sent out a long email explaining that this was to combat spammers.
Perhaps they had a few bugs to work out in the beginning? Maybe. Just a word
of caution for anyone who might happen to run into the same problem as I
did.
