a lot of my forum emails are bouncing back
 

I am having serious issues with my hosting company email and gmail both not delivering my user registration emails and PM notice emails.

Anybody have any suggestions or good email services I may use?

Check if your mail server's ip is on a blacklist.

Yahoo (aka AT&T/Bellsouth) email bounces a lot, as does AOL, because they have over aggressive spam filters that penalize any emails that look similar.

no its not on any blacklist it seems my email providers spam filters are stopping my emails, not the users email.

I am wonder what service others are using, not so much ideas on what may or may not work with my services as I have spent hours attempting to resolve this issue with my providers and have gotten nowhere.

Are they bouncing or are they just not being sent out? If they are bouncing, then the bounce notice should tell you what the issue is. If they aren't being sent out, just admincp > Number of Queued E-Mails and make sure they aren't backed up.

the are bouncing for various reasons. mostly rejected by recipients server.

Nothing you can do about that.

so what do others do when all the activiation emails are bouncing back?

Why are they bouncing? Is it saying that the email address is invalid, or is it rejecting mail from your server?

rejected by server
