Someone I help out is having problems with their outgoing emails. Here is what I was told.

|
There is no outgoing mail to advise members of answers to posts, PM's in their inbox, and the board will not send mass mails. I sent a mass mail to the School Mentors group, and as I am a member of the group, I should have received a copy of it. Nobody in the group received it. Other members have posted regarding their notifications not arriving ... it appears to have started in the last few days.
|
I asked if anything new has been added and am waiting a response, but I am sure nothing new has been done as I am usually involved in it.
I have googled but can't really figure out what I should be looking for and where. Can you steer me in some kind of direction?
Thanks Nightrider.  |

Since all of the email notifications seem to have stopped, it sounds like the Outgoing (SMTP) Email Server needs to be restarted/reset by the Host. While they are at it, they might as well restart/reset the Incoming (POP3) Email server as well. That should correct the problem...

Yes, if a few members aren't receiving notification, but some are, then the problem is something other than the email servers. But when all email stops, it is usually a problem only the host can fix by resetting/restarting the two email servers. That almost always corrects the problem...
