Missing emails (again) - blueyonder.co.uk address
I only post here when there are issues with the VM mail services - and there have been no issues for the past couple of years!
I have noticed the number of email I receive has decreased. It was a daily digest email from Finextra that first brought this to my attention, this digest has not been received for about 10 days now.
I use my own domain which has forwarding onto my blueyonder.co.uk email address.
No changes had been made to the domain forwarding before I noticed emails were missing - not delivered to my VM inbox or to the spam folder. My mail clients are not set up to filter spam mails.
I have logged into Virgin webmail and there is no auto forward set up on the BY address, and only one domain on the blacklist, which I added years ago.
I have now made a change to the domain forwarding, this has proven that about 50% of the emails are not being delivered to my blueyonder.co.uk address.
The sender is not getting a bounce back, so there is nothing obvious that can be changed at the VM end, and I have left sufficient time for redelivery if there was a TTL issue. It’s a bit random which emails are not delivered. Yesterday 2 easyJet emails were sent to me to check in for 2 separate flights. Both were delivered to the temporary forwarding location, but only one was delivered to my normal BY forward. I expect (but have not checked) that emails like this are using DMARC and therefore should not be treated as spam.
In the past the email issues have occurred due to more harsh spam rules being applied by VM, which were then resolved through feedback from me and other customers, and I suspect this is happening again.
I see little value in calling the help desk unless they can get me through to 3rd level support or the mail team.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with emails. Can one of the VM mods please PM me and I can provide info to the mail team for them to look into this.
Thanks
