mwinton Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I have a log of mail coming into my server, and being picked up by SPAMcop POP server, but it is not showing up in my Inbox, in Trash, or other folders. I know from the logs that SPAMcop is picking up the messages, but for some reason they are vanishing. How do I track them from here? Is there a problem on the network? This began 11/6 around noon, and my last message was 9:30 PM last night, although there are more messages out there!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgp Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Same here, whatever the problems were yesterday seem to have gotten worse. I have received no email from my pop3 accounts for the last 4 hours. This is a probably a time zone thing but is anyone up in the states?

Jeff G. Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 The last email POPped for me by mailgate.cesmail.net and actually delivered was very early this morning, "Mon, 08 Nov 2004 00:35:55 -0500 (EST)" (05:35:55 -0000 (UTC)), and it arrived in my mailbox five seconds later. That was nine hours ago. It is extremely unusual for me to go nine hours without a POPped email. In the meantime about a dozen emails have been forwarded to my SpamCop account, and have arrived successfully. Now, since the forwarded emails are arriving through mailgate as well, I am forced to conclude that the problem is with popgate or its method of getting mail into mailgate's outbound queue.

jgp Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Yip, and no spam in my Held Mail either. Perhaps spam has stopped Anyone know what is happenening? I changed my settings in spamcop to leave a copy of the mails on the server and now I can pull them directly from my other pop3 servers but still nothing appearing in spamcop even though it is fetching the email from the pop3 accounts.

jgp Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Right, I seem to be getting one or two emails through now, failures mostly and one or two spam messages into held mail as well. No sign of the last 8 hours email though? Is this happening to everyone? Have we last todays mail? It would seem unlikely since the spamcop server pulled it from the pop3 accounts, it had to go somewhere. By the way I've only started posting to this forum today but I've been a very happy spamcop user for 12 months. JP Yip, and no spam in my Held Mail either. Perhaps spam has stopped Anyone know what is happenening? I changed my settings in spamcop to leave a copy of the mails on the server and now I can pull them directly from my other pop3 servers but still nothing appearing in spamcop even though it is fetching the email from the pop3 accounts.

Jeff G. Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 It appears something happened at about 10:41 EST (15:41 -0000 UTC) and I've started getting mail popped by mailgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwinton Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 It appears something happened at about 10:41 EST (15:41 -0000 UTC) and I've started getting mail popped by mailgate. 19755[/snapback] I looked at my server, and I have 6 messages in my Inbox there. SC has sent 1 of the 6, and the others are nowhere to be found! They are not in the Held Mail or Trash folders, they just seem to have vanished! So, I am getting some POP mail from SC, but it is 1 out of 6 this AM...Not good yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 It appears something happened at about 10:41 EST (15:41 -0000 UTC) and I've started getting mail popped by mailgate. Same here...a test message that had disappeared into the "void" between the target POP account and the cesmail.net account (which had clearly already grabbed it, but it wasn't in my cesmail Inbox) has appeared. Time for some explanations....this isn't the only problem happening with cesmail (and cqmail) at the moment...there are still some serious issues with forwarding mail from other accounts.

Wazoo Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Just in from JT; -=-=-=-=-=- I've changed the internal handoff so that it no longer depends on DNS working. This should fix the internal handoff problem entirely. I'm still trying to figure out why name-services.com is handing out bogus data occasionally. Jeff -=-=-=-=-=- So have to make an assumption at this point that it's the "servers playing catch-up" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidT Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 So have to make an assumption at this point that it's the "servers playing catch-up" right now. No, I don't think so. Here's contrary evidence: Sunday: something bad happens at the DNS host for cesmail.net, and soon, there are big problems with forwarded mail not reaching our cesmail boxes, because most of the hosts that are forwarding to us can't resolve the DNS. Webmail sent from those systems fails. Sunday evening: JT checks in, and the DNS is looking OK. At this point, I was able to do lookups from remote systems and send webmail during this brief "resurrection" of the DNS, during which time many outside systems apparently "caught up." Monday morning: Those same systems which "caught up" last night now don't know about "cesmail.net" again. Forwards are bouncing, webmail from outside sites is failing again. So, this is "off, then on, then off" which doesn't sound like a brief DNS glitch followed by servers needing to catch up. Wazoo...please send this to JT via backchannel. Stuff is still screwed up!

sonic Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Just to add what I'm seeing... first my set up... mail to various accounts, all popped by spamcop Yesterday a few mails I know were sent never arrived (from yahoo groups). I didn't notice a problem until this morning... when I thought the problem was with one of the other accounts... I then discovered spamcop problems. At about 1600 GMT today things seemed to get better... so I re-enabled the popping from the remote accounts. Some mail has arrived... but some is still in the void. Currently, I've turned off all popping, so that the mail isn't lost. Fingers crossed the mail will arrive sometime... Any updates on the situation appreciated.

jgp Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 And still no sign of the missing hours of email. Is it lost for good? JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnvald Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 It looks like a lot of mail got stuck - it could take a while to deliver it all. 19758[/snapback] Same here. Emails positively sent to me yesterday (20 hours ago) was most possibly picked up by Spamcop and did not appear in my webmail at spamcop - neither in inbox nor in my held mail box. A forum is probably not the correct place to quote the addresses of the senders, but they are available for further technical enquiries. I have removed all retrieval of mail from external POP servers to my SpamCop account until this problem has been solved. I cannot have emails disappearing into nothingness!

sonic Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Still no sign of mail that was definitely picked up by spamcop approx 24 hours since... Can someone please let us know what is happening.. ? Thanks, Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G. Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I would suspect that any remaining mail that you were expecting but didn't get either was bounced or is being held at the sender's authorized SMTP Relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is wrong? I can access it from my site with no problem but I have been experiencing NONE of the problems reported lately. Post responses and we may be able to tell you where your problem (and possibly others problems) are occurring. 1. What type of platfom are you using (so I know what tools are available).
