Next: I can recive Emails but cant send
From: Jeffrey Ellis on 26 Jun 2008 02:01
I have setup two accounts. One is my normal POP email account, the other, an
IMAP account. I've tested the POP account and it works fine, except in one
respect.

When I send test emails from our website to my POP account, it somehow is
winding up in the IMAP inbox, and doesn't come to the POP account inbox.

What do you think I'm doing wrong?

And what happens when you send a test e-mail to your POP account but
from a DIFFERENT source than your web site mail script? If you send a
test e-mail from your IMAP account to your POP account, does it end up
in the POP or IMAP account? Open a disposable e-mail account (Hotmail,
Yahoo, or Gmail) and send a test e-mail to your POP account. Does it
show up in your POP or IMAP account?

Yes. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Tests messages go to the POP
account just fine from everywhere except from my website.

If I send you the headers can you maybe figure out what I'm doing wrong?

All My Best,
Jeffrey

The Received headers will only confirm that the e-mail was sent to your
POP account (whether you wanted the e-mails delivered there or not).
The headers will show that whatever mail host is used by your web site
had the e-mail target your POP account.

The problem is with whatever script, function, or program is used by
your web site for handling mail. The problem is on the sending end.
You need to investigate how web forms (for messages/mail) are coded or
maybe some server-side configuration for your site if you are using a
webhost service for your site.
