Mail3 is down briefly for its scheduled harddrive switchover. Should be back up shortly.

And we're back.

Is there some reason why suddenly today I can't send email on any of my accounts on any of my domains?

I haven't changed a thing on my end. Did I miss some announcement about our mail turning into one-way mailboxes?

No problem here in chicago sending or receiveing mail.

Could be your isp.

With an ignorant reply like that, you must work for tech support somewhere. Maybe an ISP?

And with an arrogant reply like mine, I must be a jerk.

I apologize, you were correct. My ISP just stepped up their mail security apparently so I had to change all my outgoing servers to theirs...

Thank you!

No, I work for myself, I pay my monthly fee like you do, and as we all do in the forums, I was just trying to help with your question. I did not comment on your "one way mailbox" coment or anything else, I just provided you with the solution to your problem.

Most isp's are requiring outgoing mail servers to be theirs now. Had 2 clients have that happen to them last week, thats why I thought I knew the answer.

Don't worry though, I'll take a pass on helping you in the future, and my guess, others that read this will too.

Play Nice! Locking this as issue is over!
