XMail Forum > XMail Server > Mail Receiving Problem

Hello there!

Since a while I'm experiencing a strange behavior with my XMail 1.24 server, running on Win32.

Usually I get all eMails people send to me, especially customers. I also get alot of spam. So XMail is definitly working, everything seems ok and I'm satisfied.

But there are cases where I just don't receive the eMail I'm waiting for. Usually from internet forums. This happened again two times in the last days.

Case 1: Experts-Exchange.com Forum.
I used the "Forgot password" function for two eMail accounts (both on the same server) on Thursday last week. Until today I never received any eMail.
Just tried it again yesterday afternoon. Still no eMail(s) received from Experts-Exchange.com.

I already used this function once a while ago. The eMail came in after ~2 hours. But now, nothing ...

Case 2: New User Registration in another Forum
About 1 hour ago I successfully registered at another forum. After the registration the forum said an eMail was sent with an activation link.

Until now I didn't get any eMail from them ... The eMail address I provided was correct.

I use K9 AntiSpam proxy for my Thunderbird. In both cases I double and tripple checked and searched the spam folder but there was nothing.

Is this behavior somehow known?

Just to be curious, I used the "Forgot password" function from this forum and I immediately received the eMail with the confirmation link.

Is it possible that this is no XMail related problem but a problem of the sending mail server?

Thanks for your participation!

[Edit]

I just re-registered at the forum with another eMail adress (hotmail) and immediately got the confirmation eMail. Maybe this is a XMail server problem after all?

Ok. Looks like I found the cause and solution.

Now it works. Just re-ordered the forgotten password for Experts-Exchange.com and it immediately arrived.
