Hello,
Recently we were notified by our host that a new spamguard firewall was place on their servers.

Unfortuantely I think this has affected our site but not sure.

Here is what does not work suddenly:
-Easy News-fails to send email
-Confimations emails for registered users -fail to send
-some rss feeds (maybe unrelated, dont work)
-Contact us link acts like its working but does not send.

-has anyone encountered such an issue. Not sure where to start as far as directives to our host. Thye are willing to work with us but not sure where to begin troubleshooting.

Note:We did run debug but found no errors.

TY in advance.

BTW: IF We could trace it to anything it would be that we use phpmail (have been for 3 years with no problem) not smtp or send mail..

apparently our tables were checked, nor problems.

Any ideas?

ty

Sooooooo
This is how it is eh?


No one sees a relationship with the features not working and a common problem? There has to be one but cant figure it out.

No ones encountered such?

Please advise.

OK happy to announce update:

so suddenly our email wasnt working...
We werent able to send emails from eavennews
Registered users were not getting their confirmation emails

we were using phpmail

Any rate turns out our mail path settings were wrong in our php set up. Which is weird because we never changed them or were aware of them changing..But Apparently They changed (or needed to be updated)because of the way the servers smtp ids got switched, or added, around during this security resolution from our host.

(you should run a test.php and make sure paths and configurations are correct)Thats what we shoulda done first, but we never guessed that any settings may have changed or need to be changed.

-So the mailing and etc. are working.
Now to crack into the newsfeeds...
