Sorry if this is too off topic but I reconed you would feel my pain.

We are having major problems with our email at the moment and I would like to ask the help of the members here to track it down.
It appears that some of our mail arrives and some just disappears into a black hole. It seems to be related to the ISP of the sender but I cant gather enough data to prove it yet.

Can you send me an email at test@sambasoftware.com and make a short note here that you sent it. That way I can see how bad the problem is and how big a stick I need to use on the heads of my hosting company.

Thanks in advance. Charlie

TEST MESSAGE (subject line)

the all caps used for some filters.

YOU are #1 and and Tops in the Field!!!!!!
The use of the punctuation.(!!!!!)

(LOL) or Blank Subject lines.
They filter those out for the use of ( ( ) ) and the blankness.

Also sometimes mail for example depending on the server can take up to 24 hours to be posted- because of updates and network traffic.

So it is possible the mail you are not getting could fall into those categories.

Also if your email has a bulk mail folder sometimes the limits on that do not allow for incomming traffic.

This may be the cause but early results (5 actually - not exactly statistically valid) indicate that my hosting Co in the US is blocking a whole block of IP addresses at a very course level.

Unfortunatly this block includes half my customers. The Hosting Co and my ISP Tech Support seems to need a clip round the ear with data to get them to sort it out. Hence my plea.

Thank you all for your help - keep em coming
