Re: URGENT - No incoming mail

Ben,

You know when you look at something and read it, but don't actually READ it.
Well I obviously did that because it BLATANTLY says "Only the list below"
with a blank list!

What an idiot.

I've unchecked the allow all users box, I had previously done that but put
it back on when everything stopped working! Also, I send my email via DNS,
is this another reason I could be blacklisted by spam companies? I have
heard that it is more sensible to send via my ISP's SMTP servers?

Many many thanks!
David
