eMail to Gmail from Talk21 address never received

Hello all,

This problem seems to have started a few months ago - but I only realised that this was an actual problem a couple of weeks ago when I read the thread about mail to Gmail taking 5 hours ... etc.

 

I have a (BT/Yahoo) talk21 account and have been using it as my main eMail address for about 20 years.

 

If I send a message from my eMail program, using relay.free-online.net, coming from my talk21 address, to any Gmail (or Gogglemail) user, the messages are never delivered.

 

If I send a message from the webmail interface of talk21, the message gets delivered.

 

It only seems to be messages to Gmail (or Googlemail) that are affected - messages to any other address are fine.

 

Any suggestions as to what the problem is and how it can be fixed - I presume it is related to the fact that Google seem to be having problems with some accounts coming from Plusnet servers.

 

Incidentally, if I send a message from one of my Plusnet eMail  addresses, it is delivered.

 

Thanks

Terence

Some further information

 

Yesterday I tried a test by sending a message from a different eMail account (....@web-hq.com) using the relay.free-online.net server to my Gmail account and it arrived almost immediately.

 

Very odd that the eMails from my ...@talk21.com just disappear.

Is free-online an obsolete  Plusnet owned ISP? If so it’s probably the recent decision by Plusnet to use SPF records.

@Baldrick1 

Thank you for responding. I thought I had posted an additional message earlier today to say that I had sent an eMail from another eMail address (...@web-hq.com) using the relay.free-online.net server to Gmail and it arrived almost instantly.

 

Also, the notification from PLUSNET about the proposed changes to the SPF records told me that I had to make sure that my outbound server was relay.free-online.net (which it is and has been ever since I switched to PLUSNET (Free-Online)

 

So unfortunately I don't think your suggestion is the problem.

 

Regards

Terence

@sunkiddance 

There was one post caught in the Spam Filer which I have released.

 

No sign of the missing 2nd post.

@Mav 

 

Thank you - both of the 2 posts have now appeared - probably didn't like the address I had mentioned.
