View Full Version : Forwarders Only Work Sometimes

We don't use the email that comes with DirectAdmin, but are taking advantage of the forwarders. The problem is that occasionally the forwarders stop working for whatever reason. This causes a big problem because people think we've changed our email address or just get generally confused.

It has been happening a lot lately as in only about 50% of the emails are forwarded on. I have a ticket with this problem (ticket #9733). The ticket was placed on hold and there doesn't seem to be a user option to move it back to open. I consider this a big problem though since mail being returned to sender causes all sorts of confusion.

For example, we have myname@mydomain.com forwarding to anothername@gmail.com. Today I sent 3 emails to this address and 2 have been returned (1 got through early, since then it is down).

Any help is MUCH appreciated.

EDIT: to elminate confusion the ticket is under username thejarvii. I must've registered with two usernames over the past few years, and the cookies (forum login, ticket login) aren't in sync.

If this only happened today, it might have to do with the routing issue Joe wrote about.
