I’m not receiving mail from a certain sender, why?

If your DNS is set correctly and you have your addresses configured on our system, the sender should be aware of why you are not receiving email from them. If, for any reason, we reject an email or a connection, the sending server is obligated to bounce the email back to the sender and state why it failed. That message is of vital importance for troubleshooting, if you can get ahold of it. If they are not getting a bounce message with the error, this most likely means one of four things:

  1. Their mail server is still trying to send it, and will bounce the error after it has exhausted it’s attempts.

  2. Their mail server is delivering the email to some other place that is not our service, and they should investigate their server to find out why.

  3. Their mail server is broken. They should investigate the server to find out why.

  4. You’ve configured a filter for your account that is processing the message in the way that you specified it be processed, and this can lead to messages being simply deleted because expectation and reality sometimes differ when creating email filters.

To see if email is received by MXroute servers at all, or if email is rejected, use Track Delivery in CPanel, under Email. Very useful. :slightly_smiling_face:
