help with mail
« on: March 06, 2005, 09:53:19 AM »

How do I start sending/receiving mail to/from  @colliope.com, as opposed to @colliope.zboxhosting.com?

I sent an email from my msn account to "anyname@colliope.com" and then logged into Squirrel mail and Horde, and it is not in either inbox. I also sent an email from squirrel mail to my msn account, and the sender was displayed as "colliope@colliope.zboxhosting.com".

I see in my control panel, there is an option about default mail addy and blackholes. I'm not sure what to do to change things so that I can send/receive mail as colliope.com.

Thanks,

Col

Hi Col,
First off I owe you an apology. I told you something that was in error. A "parked" domain such as your colliope.com can't have it's own email address. Parked domains don't have any content of their own as they are really just a simple redirect. If you do need email for the colliope.com domain what we can do is break off a chunk of your disk space and bandwidth from your main account and create a seperate account for that domain.

With regards to your main email address, that is simply a spam catchall. Any mail that is "unrouted" will vanish in the blackhole. By "unrouted" I mean like "admin@colliope.zboxhosting.com". There is no such address so it goes to the blackhole as opposed to being bounced back. If you want "colliope@colliope.zboxhosting.com" to be a working email address, go into your Cpanel, and under the "Email management tools", then click on "Add/Remove email account" and then create the email address that you want. Yes it can be the same as your catchall if you wish.

Bert

Sorry. Please ignore this part. I'm just using 'glow'
 Hmmm... interesting.

Sandy's has bee fixed. Cpanel does NOT create an email address for you when we create your accounts. It only creates a "catchall" address for unrouted spam. "Unrouted" email is typically spam that is addressed to "admin@yourdomain.com" etc, where you don't have an "Admin" email address. Those are just a shot in the dark by the spammers to try to get something to your domain email. Email that goes into the catchall goes to the "blackhole". Never to be see again in this universe, as we know it.

Sorry to bother you....

I have waited 3 days hoping the problem would be resolved but I guess not so I need to ask

I set up a new mail account for my domain

it worked great for a couple days.. the AR I set was also working fine

now.. I get an error message when trying to send or receive mail from my new addy (prefer not to post it here)

can you help?

I re entered the reg file to no avail.. still getting the error message on trying to send or receive

please help.. but no big hurry... I try to be patient .. especially when your hosting price is so low I dont feel like bugging anyone for help since the amount does not seem enough for immediate support :)

Just to let yall know what the fix was for Timmer's issue. Now days a lot of ISP's block PC users from using port 25 to send mail from a server other than their mail server. The reason being that most spam issues arise from spammers using servers outside of their ISP's to send the spam mail. So the ISP's theory is that if they squelch mail being sent from outside servers other than their own, they can cut down the amount of spam that is sent out. Yah, it's kind of a throwing the baby out with the bath water approach.

But there is a way to get around it. At least for now. On our servers different ports have been enabled to send mail with. On Nova simply set your send mail port to 2525, and on Comet set it to port 26 in your email clients. That will bypass your ISP's block on port 25.

Yo Timmer! The problem with the mail was that Nova (the server you are on) had some network connection issues. It was sporadic and lasted about an hour. My email is back up and running, so if you have problems still just give me a holler. It's been a very hectic 24 hours LOL!
