SJ77 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 my main IPB email address is getting all the kicked back emails "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" They are sent from postmaster@mysite.com but are landing in my inbox at admin@mysite.com What did I do to cause this, and how do I stop it from coming? Thank you in advance
SJ77 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 Hundreds of unwanted emails flooding my asmin@mysite.com they are setup in the ACP to be sent from postmaster@mysite.com see the failed emails in the screen shot at that post. They are coming to my admin@mysite email even though they are from postmaster@mysiteit's failed emails that IPB sends to users, such as when a user tries to register with a fake email account

SJ77 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 One doesn’t come to postmaster@myemail which is the weird part. something is forcing the return address to be admin@mysite

I looked on my server but can't find it either.
SJ77 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 EDIT:never mind on this post. Still need my server settings that make admin my default email
Adlago Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Check cPanel /Domain / Manage Zone and see "_dmarc.yoursite" email admin@site is included there

Rheddy Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 This usually happens if you have an inactive member and their email address is no longer in service. This happens to me a lot. But, it would be nice if IPS CS' system could halt the email being sent out instead of bouncing the email back to your site's email. This gets tiresome when you have thousands of such occurrences over bounced emails.
