Email Issue
-
I stumbled across this by complete coincidence. I was looking at our mail server logs for an unrelated issue and noticed that messages from ML were getting rejected.
Hold the phone...I'm supposed to be receiving email alerts from ML?!
Here is the "reject" pulled from my mail server log (with slight modification):
Sep 1 08:33:24 mail postfix/smtpd[15760]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from so254-54.mailgun.net[198.61.254.54]: 450 4.1.8 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<so254-54.mailgun.net>Looks like it's bouncing the message(s) because "mg.mangolassi.it" does not exist. This is because we have "reject_unknown_sender_domain" set in our Postfix config.
To make sure it wasn't our mail server doing something funky, I did some DNS lookups outside of the scope our mail server sees, and sure enough, there is no A or MX record for this domain.
Not sure if this is a known issue or not, but wanted to share just in case.
Without knowing the details behind ML's infrastructure, I think simply adding an A record that points "mg.mangolassi.it" to the IP(s) that "mangolassi.it" points to will fulfill this spam check. You can then configure the web server to redirect "mg.mangolassi.it" to "mangolassi.it" if someone ever decides to type it into a web browser. Creating an A or MX record to just about anywhere would be sufficient, I believe, as that will constitute as the domain "existing" to this spam check, but I think this is the most thoughtful approach (to me, anyway).
Just FYI!

ML has no email server of its own, and doesn't receive mail, hence the lack of records. It's all through MailGun.

@scottalanmiller Totally understood, which is why I suggested what I suggested...

A Record added. Let's see what it does.

But may mail server doesn't yet....but that's my problem.

YAY!!!!!! I'm getting the emails! Thanks @scottalanmiller for the quick fix!! You will find that with these alerts I'll be much more active with the threads I start and/or contribute to.

By default, a topic you start you are automatically set to follow.

Or just change the setting so you get one per day instead of one each time someone replies to a thread you're watching.

Decent number of email customizations.

I found that I wasn't receiving emails either. Didn't really look in to it. Just thought none came through.
Yesterday I started getting the emails. Seems as tho that resolved alot more than just your issue!
-
@prcssupport glad that we found that then!
-
Yeah, got a couple dozen mails yesterday too. Glad you managed to get that working.
