Hi
Of late I have found it impossible to register on several online forum sites because no emails get through the default spam blocker.
I always use new aliases for these and make sure I wait 30 minutes or so after setting up - I can't whitelist the senders address as I don't know it - the adress isn't always from the same domain as the site.
Is this just me? If so I'll raise a ticket - or have others noticed this.
One example http://www.banditforum.co.uk/forum - registered yesterday - no email - registered again today with my gmail account and got instant notification I had registered.
Cheers
Eserim

Was that when the spam filter was Ironport or Postini -I've switched my "Discard Obvious Spam" off for now and may try again - I also haven't had Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert newsletter for months now - despite White Listing his domain - does White Listing actually work?

Quote You're right that the email doesn't get past the IronPorts.

Ah - so now we are on Postini a similar issue applies.
For info - the headers of the one that got to gmail
I've checked with http://www.blacklistalert.org/ the two domains mentioned in the headers - both are OK.

I take it (I am not an expert) that this suggests badly configures

I think I need to raise a ticket here as it is very strange
On one forum when I changed it to a relatively new alias emails fail - even with non discarding of obvious spam - but using an older alias, going to the same box it works.
Further test show that new aliases simply DON'T WORK AT ALL!!! ticket raised

Have you checked you have 'catch-all' switched on? If not, have you set up new aliases individually using Manage My Mail in the Members Centre? Surprising how many people forget this....
