chrism Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 My Spamcop account is configured to collect mail from my ISP by POP3, because my ISP doesn't support mail forwarding. For the last couple of hours, Spamcop has been collecting mail from my ISP as normal, but nothing has been delivered to my Spamcop inbox. I've checked "Held Mail", and it's not there, either. I suspect that the mail delivery process has got stuck. I've reported this to Spamcop support via the "Report Problem" facility in Webmail. Just wanted to make other people aware of the problem.

chrism Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 To follow up on this, mail delivery hasn't actually stopped: it's just being very, very slow. I've just had some mail that was collected by Spamcop at 09:59 (UK time) appear in my mailbox at just after 12:00 - ie, a delay of about 2 hours. The last line of the mail header is the collection by Spamcop at 09:59, so the delay is occurring after that: presumably in the process that Spamcop uses to send mail to the correct mailbox within the system.

Just go over You have Greylisting checked? Is the email from someone on your whitelist (which will bypass greylisting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Just go over You have Greylisting checked? Is the email from someone on your whitelist (which will bypass greylisting) No, I don't have Greylisting enabled. Yes, the sender of the mail is whitelisted. The problem is not restricted to mail that's collected by POP3; I've just sent a number of e-mail messages from external systems directly to my Spamcop e-mail address, and they aren't showing up in my inbox (or Held Mail) either. Chris I've sent mail from 3 different external systems (my ISP, Hotmail, and Gmail) directly to my Spamcop e-mail address. None of them has appeared in my Spamcop inbox. Am I alone in this problem, or are other people seeing it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachariah Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I am noticing this, too -- on both my wife's account and mine. I've tried sending to my domain email (forwards to spamcop) and directly to my spamcop account. I don't see any new mail arriving. the last mail I received was a spamcop renewal message at 6:40 am CDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachariah Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I just got a bunch of email all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 I just got a bunch of email all at once. That's the way it's working for me, too. I'm getting mail every 2-3 hours, but there's a delay of hours between each delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrism Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 The problem seems to be resolved. I've not had any reply to my problem report, but all my mail has now "caught up", and newly-sent mail is being delivered immediately. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not had any reply to my problem report, but all my mail has now "caught up", and newly-sent mail is being delivered immediately. We got spam slammed overnight and that caused everything to back up as the system handled the large extra mail load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
