e-mail issues

Hello,
This is my third time trying to get my network added. I have tested with other services, to see if i get e-mails form them, and I do.
How do I go about getting my network added to SearchIRC?
Thanks for any assistance.

yes i read that, and yes it is setup correctly.

i had the webmaster check the email settings 5 times now and everything is setup correctly, and nothing is going into our spam boxes either.

which is why i do not know how to resolve this.

can you help me?

Since people are still receiving email comfirmations after you didnt I can pretty much therefore garuntee the issue is your end.

Your best place to start is the smtp logs. See if the server is even being connected to.

and i know the email works - cause i have had over 17 emails form this one posting alone - and yes i am sure there are others all blocked by spam filters.

so i know the email works and is not on my end of things.

i had it all checked and i am pretty sure my webmaster knows what he is doing considering he has been doing this for over 10+ years.

and we checked the spam filters, SearchIRC is set to be allowed to email all clients with accounts @ xeromem.com.

i had the exact same mail system when i ran maximum-irc.com and had no issues then. now all of a sudden i am supposed to have issues with my email system just cause i changed the networks name and gave it a new life.

all i am trying to do is get XeroMem added to the search engine of SearchIRC.

Is that XeroMem.com which as far as I can see from a few basic DNS tests has NO MX records? Which can stop a lot of mail servers sending you emails (although theyre supposed to resort back to A records if no MX record)

just checked the maillog. I only found your domain listed twice:

DragonRyder, to clarify those logs for you, they show 1 of 2 things.

1. That you havnt set up a MX record in your DNS (as I said above) to tell mail servers which is the real email server for your domain
2. It got the right IP address for your email server but the email server is most definatly not set up correctly.

ok my mail server is setup right - it was my dns -- i forgot to do the @ adn mx & spf in it. is fixed now and going to try doing this one more time.

which makes it my fault not my webmasters.

thank you for pointing that out.

i have so much in the dns i forgot to do the two parts Sad
