Email gremlins

[Guest guest]

I have not received any messages today in my email but looked on the page to see

many including the ones requesting the Mrityu Bhaga chart which I sent. It is a

big scan so cut it by 50% for better viewing. This is the first time I have not

received my messages! Can some computer whiz give me an explanation why?

Andrew--

 

I'm copying the list on this reply because it's useful information to

have in diagnosing email problems. My apologies to those who do not

appreciate the off-topic discussion. (Gemini moon, sorry.)

 

I checked your service provider's mail exchangers; as of just a few

minutes ago, both of them (mx.ozemail.com.au and

server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net) are apparently in perfect health. I also

checked your providers domain name servers, and both of them

(oznet.ozemail.com.au and oznet02.ozemail.com.au) are also apparently in

perfect health. I have noticed that it's taken several hours to

redistribute messages today, but I =have= been getting messages.

 

(Mail exchangers are dedicated computers which know how to handle, say,

all the email for an enterprise such as ozemail.com.au, so when

wants to send you mail, it needs to look up the mail exchanger for ozemail

in something called a domain server. In addition to their other duties,

domain servers provide that list of mail exchangers =and= they also provide

a network address which tells the email transport services how to FIND that

mail exchanger once it's been identified (that's actually their primary

function).)

 

Fortunately, can tell you if they've been having problems

sending you email. Go to www., sign on as you normally would,

and select the link called "My Profile" (it's the second icon in that row of

four close to the top left corner). Scroll down to the very bottom and

you'll see a section called "Account Status."

 

In that section there is a subsection called "Most recent messages.":

See if anything appears for today, then look down at "Last Bounce Message."

If it's not self-explanatory (and it probably won't be), copy it, paste it

into an email to me, and I'll decypher it for you if I can. If you don't

see a last bounce message, just copy everything in the Account Status

section and email me that.

Andrew, the problem is obviously with "Egroups" as I too am having

problems receiving individual messages...
