My Django website has several forms which users fill out and when they submit them an e-mail is sent to my email address. This works when I use my Hotmail address as the receiving address, but not when I use my Outlook email address (the address I'd like to use). I also tried another Outlook address and it worked. So it's just my Outlook that's not receiving them. The Outlook address is also the sending address.
I have no idea why my Outlook address won't receive e-mails from my website, yet it receives e-mails sent from other sources. It displays no error messages so I really have nothing to go off. I have Googled a lot but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
I know my question is vague, but I'm hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction or give me something to look into, because there are no error messages or anything for me to go off. I have also been through the settings in Outlook and can't find anything that would be blocking it.
PS I didn't include any code as I really don't know how it would help, though I can if you think it would be useful.
Thank you.
Have you checked your SPAM/JUNK folder. This might be possible that emails are getting delivered to your SPAM folder instead of INBOX.
Check your Firewall Settings might be your Firewall is creating the problem.

Please I create some emails in my Cpanel domain

What is the problem and how we can fix it?
thank you
Make sure that your server IP address is not blacklisted.
you can check your IP against a bunch of blacklists here:

The following document is a good place to start in terms of preventing users from sending out SPAM and enabling the options to better detect when it happens:

Additionally, the following thread offer some useful tips for investigating the source of SPAM messages:

This seems like a fairly obvious thing but I can't figure out how to do it and am hoping one of your geniuses can help me out!
We have a Gmail email account and then a ticket system that checks that account and sends an auto-reply to the sender saying that the email was received. This is checked via POP3 but can also be done via IMAP if necessary.
What I want is this: For certain messages, I'd like to file them immediately in Gmail and have them go to a special folder and have them NOT be checked by the ticket system. That's all.
I tried creating a filter in Gmail to move them, skip the inbox, mark as read, all of that. They still get picked up by the ticket system.
I thought POP3 only checked the INBOX on any server, so I expected that if I skipped the inbox then it would not be accessible. This doesn't seem to be the case.
Please let me know if there are any tricks I can do.
Thank you so much!

The problem that you are running into is that when connecting to GMail via POP3, you are actually accessing the "All Mails" folder and not the Inbox, so filtering the messages does not remove them from the list presented to your client via POP3.
Switching to IMAP should solve this problem, however, since you'd be able to open whatever folder you wanted.
Okay, so this is a really weird issue that's really just confusing the crap out of me...
I have a number ColdFusion sites running on the same dedicated server and have been noticing some really strange issues with mail sent from some sites using the <cfmail> tag.
Here is an example of a mail tag being used with a form on one of the websites:
<cfmail to="#cfmail.clientEmail#" from="#form.email# <#form.email#>" replyto="#form.email#" server="#cfmail.server#" username="#cfmail.username#" password="#cfmail.password#" subject="Request for info - #form.propertyName#" type="HTML" port="#cfmail.port#" useSSL="#cfmail.useSSL#">
(All of the cfmail scoped vars are being set in the Application file)
I do it this way so that the individual sites are not all using the in-house mail server, and instead use their own Google Apps account (DNS is set up properly).
Form submits, email sends, email is delivered...no problem, right?
Well...that's when things get funky.
Notice the FROM looks like this in the code:
from="#form.email# <#form.email#>
When delivered, it looks like this:
FROM : bob#someaddress.com <info#somerandomdomain.com>
When it SHOULD look like this:
FROM : bob#someaddress.com <bob#someaddress.com>
So, I checked - and re-checked the code. Everything is correct. Then, I checked the ColdFusion mail spooler...the text file generated there before the email actually leaves the server is CORRECT.
This leads me to believe that something is happening after the actual data reaches the google servers - somehow the email addresses are getting swapped out.
If it's any help, the mixed up from addresses are always email addresses that were set up a long time ago and then closed/abandoned for other sites I host on the same server.
And, another bit of funkyness to add...
This is happening to the TO addresses in some cases as well. Meaning, emails sent from different sites on the same server (using different Google Apps accounts and credentials) are ending up in the correct inbox AND other, unrelated, sites inboxes as well.
I've determined that the emails are correct as they leave the building on their way to Google (via the ColdFusion mail spooler) - but things seem to go all wonky after that.
Does anyone have any advice on this? The solution I've decided on for now is to move the clients to new mail providers...but this is not an ideal solution because of all the hassle involved in migrating their email over.
I have an unusual problem for a project I'm working on - I need to receive spam. Does anyone know how to get on a spammers email list?
For the curious - I'm interested to know if applying reverse dns and SPF on an email server actually blocks spam and/or ham so I've written a smtp server that will check them. I just need to be spammed.
Search for "Enter email to win" in your favorite search engine and enter your email.
And who knows, besides getting spam, you might also win something :)
edit:
Also make sure, that mail server which you are using is not doing any spam filtering already.
The "public" address for our company gets tonnes of spam each day without filtering.
Come to think of it, you could also set up a dummy web page with the email address for spam on it and get it indexed by search engines. This is how we get spam. Although we are not specifically looking for it.
One way is to put your email address on as many forums as you can. Like this:
stevej#exegro.info
kjones#exegro.info
clane#exegro.info
nadav.kozlovsky#exegro.info
SKL#exegro.info
glenn#exegro.info
robn#exegro.info
Spammer are sure to pick this up.
Having problems with setting up my website to use MS Exchange to send emails. I dont want to use the hosts email system.
The MS Exhange has been set up, with email addresses created.
My webpages are using Persits.MailSender which the host supports.
Do i need to change MX records? A records?
Sorry, im not clued up with network side of things, any help would be appreciated
When i email direct, the email address on the exchange picks up the emails. BUT if i email through the website, it goes to the annoying webmail the host is provinding, and not to the exchange
I find this strange, the same email address receiving emails at different places!
Im using ASP, and I have a website set up, which has been sending emails for the last 12 months, the host has messed up (again) somewhere, but doesnt know what is wrong (as usual)
There are no errors, the email always gets sent.... but to the wrong place.
I would look into actually trapping and knowing your errors. That way you can see precisely why it fails and have something to work with. As it stands, your question isn't really answerable. No language nor framework is provided. We don't know if the mail server is confirmed to be working or accessible outside your netowrk; we don't know how your are referencing it or if you are passing user credentials; we don't know what error you're getting...
At this point, you're not debugging, you're just sort of swinging in the dark. Find the point of failure and then research that data point to get a solution. Debug, catch errors, log, step through your code. All good ideas.
Ok i figured it out, I deleted the mail domain on the host as that was the first place the website looks to send an email. Once the mail domain was deleted the emails were sent to the external hosted mailserver MS Exchange email address. Yay!
