Hi all, My web host got hit hard with a DDOS attack last Friday morning and I have not been able to properly receive emails since then. I have a number of clients that I resell websites and email accounts to and their emails are not working properly either. My sites were transferred to a new server about 40 hours ago but emails still don't seem to be working properly. If you could visit my sites and post here letting me know if you could view them or not and send me and a coworker an email (blank if you wish) I would greatly appreciate it. Later today I will get my host to check out the results on this thread. Here are the sites in question: www.conneriver.comwww.mfngov.cawww.mfnselfgovernment.comwww.mhrnl.comwww.amalijek.comMy email address is rene@conneriver.comMy coworker's email is pfoster@mfngov.caThanks! Rene

Still none.
Anybody have any suggestions? MX entries? My nameserver has changed and I pointed my domains to the new one almost 2 days ago. I'm lost now and about to pull out my hair! My host is trying to help, but so far I am having no joy.
Anybody???
Thanks for the help so far.
Rene

Looking through the second link nothing seems to seriously out of whack. What exactly is the first link saying though??? I've forwarded the urls to my host for their perusal. I just got off the phone with them and they seem to know nothing when questioned live.  Thanks again! I'm looking for some more testing sites out there to see if I can figure out what is going on. Rene

I think that first link I posted may actually be broken itself. I have just done a manual SMTP session to your address. Looking up the MX record: Code:
[root@dipsy /root]# dig mx conneriver.com
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> mx conneriver.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 7484
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 3
;; QUESTION SECTION:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

ns2.rdns15.net. 172800 IN A 205.234.216.92
and sending a message: Code:

So your mail server is definitely accepting messages for you, even if they aren't getting to you.

Thanks again for that. I definitely am not receiving the messages. My host keeps upping the length of time that it takes for the DNS information to propagate. Now they are saying 72 hours. I changed the information about 48 hours ago now. Do you think that the Nameserver propagation might be the problem?
I have a linux firewall (SmoothWall) between me and the internet. How would I flush the DNS cache on that box?

Ok, I think I am narrowing it down... I just tried mail2web.com and my inbox is full of messages. Outlook express doesn't see them and isn't downloading them.
Also, when I log into my webmail from my webhost that inbox is all but empty.

Smoothwall Flushed, no luck. Local PC flushed, no luck.... but whats this, after about 5 minutes all of my emails get downloaded. Hopefully this is the end of this. I guess I can't be mad at my host anymore.  Thanks (yet again) for the help. I've got the emails now! Rene

Well, I can't comment on your webmail, but I'd ditch Outlook Express and use Mozilla Thunderbird, personally.
