WebhostingUK email problems

Post by Hells Bells »

I've had problems for several days now with email being bounced back when being sent from Gmail via WHUK servers. There is a known issue with the bouncebacks and they say it will be resolved within an hour, but it has been happening for several days.

Hmmmm - I hit a problem with WHUK a while back - emails from my own domain were being bounced. Apparently the WHUK server that they passed through had been blacklisted because of a lot of spam traffic. They said the offending user had been removed, but once the server is on a blacklist it can be a while before it's seen as clean - I think it was getting on for 48 hours!

I wonder if there's anything that would make WHUK more prone to problems than other hosts?

I had other problems with PIMS emails a while back which I rectified by just sending through PIMs. It was just affecting sent emails, but I don't seem to be able to send them at the moment either.
