123-Reg hosting
Does anyone in the group use 123-Reg for email and if so have you been
getting reports of emails sent to you bouncing with an error code "550 - domain does not exist"! TIA David |

I also only use them for the same. I gather the problem is affecting many users but I'm just trying to gauge how widespread the problem is. To see bounces you'll have to use another email account totally unrelated to 123-Reg, such as a Hotmail or Gmail account. I did contact them and they said it would take 24 to 48 hours to get the Domain Servers updated and propagated through the internet! Fortunately the domains I have with them are only for private emails, but that sort of delay must be disastrous for businesses. |

Also worth noting that the domain it is often complaining about is the *senders* domain. So for example I have a filter setup in TB to auto forward some messages to my colleague at an address on the same domain. That will get several messages per day - all of which will forward ok. Then out of the blue I will get a bounce back saying that my domain does not exist. Which is "interesting" since I was sending the message to the same domain, and it obviously managed to resolve it well enough to get to the MX record in the first place! -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I don't think reg123 does anything more than publish the DNS records, for me at least. This can be seen using the command nslookup -query=mx. Looks fine for me. From memory propagation of DNS changes is often quite quick. |

It might not be relevant but I have 5 MX records for my email domains. I can't remember why but I think it is a fail over type thing. I don't remember ever having problems. |

I've now tried the MX records for my domain - all look OK. Using either a Gmail or hotmail account to send a test email, the exact response I'm getting is "550 Callout verification failed: 550 #5.1.8 Domain of sender address does not exist" Originally I thought it was the DNS records that had been erased or corrupted, but in view of what others have said it looks like the 123-Reg server is claiming that Gmail or Hotmail don't exist. |

That is gmail sending a null sender. means 'you didnt specify a send address' Now either your gmail account is bolloxed, possibly by you, or gmail itself is fsked. Its almost certainly nothing to do with 123.

Working again, seems the problem existed from 15th to 17th, it would be rare for me to go even one day without receiving at least one email to the 123 domain(s). |
