Message 78106 - Posted: 21 May 2017, 21:11:02 UTC

How should we notify you of new private messages, friend requests, posts in subscribed threads, and other events?
Immediately, by email

Not getting e-mails when PM arrive, just looked at my prefs and "Immediately, by email" is highlighted.

Is there some issue with the outgoing e-mail server?

Others having an issue?

It seems to be a common problem, slowly creeping across a number of BOINC-powered websites. I've mentioned it at SETI, there's an active thread at GPUGrid, and I think I've seen others too.

It would be helpful if a sysadmin with Linux server (not just BOINC code) experience could check out the reports and server logs, to see if recent changes in either BOINC or Linux OS code have broken the message-passing linkage between BOINC, SendMail, and any other related components.

I reported it to David on the 11th of May, he hasn't gotten back to me on it yet.

Fwiw, I lost all email notifications, both PM and Forums, from this site about 3 weeks ago. Have tried changing to a backup email address, still no joy. S@H and Einstein notifications are fine.

Add another project to the 'no emails' list - SETI Beta. Just got a PM, but no e-mail - preferences are set for 'immediately', as usual.

Do you get moderation emails? For the hiding of your posts?
I'll test with your post here, will hide it and put it back. You tell me if you get the emails of it.

edit: 15 minutes on and even I haven't gotten the email yet... something else got broken there. ;-)

I got PMs (one for hide, one for restore), but no e-mails. Nothing trapped in the spam filter.

Yeah, but there's something icky going on because I didn't get those emails either.
That may have to do with David adding Bernie to the correct file, or perhaps that the whole email server is down. Can you otherwise PM me?
I usually get those emails...

Okay, by adding Bernie, David had inadvertently removed my email address. Fixed now. I get moderation emails again. :)

In the mean time I used some site blacklist checkers to see if Seti and BOINC are on (email) blacklists. The only I found is some Russian filter - the irony.
You can use http://mail-blacklist-checker.online-domain-tools.com/, https://www.ultratools.com/tools/spamDBLookup, and https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx for your own checks. If you haven't done so yet, you should also ask your ISP if they block *.berkeley.edu

Well, I got the email from David to <boinc_projects> about hiding the zip code request.

BT put it through

Well, I'm not getting notification e-mails from Seti, Seti Beta, or BOINC, when I send a PM to myself.

I'm wondering if there is some mixup in the MX records causing it or some issue with a CA? because On 5/20 I got the Berkeley Online newsletter, so my ISP doesn't seem to have a block on berkeley.edu

Message 78661 - Posted: 6 Jun 2017, 7:26:23 UTC - in response to Message 78655.  

Well, I got the email from David to <boinc_projects> about hiding the zip code request.
Mailman is on a whole different server group, nothing to do with BOINC or Seti. It's sent out by Berkeley itself.

Mails from BOINC and Seti seem to be sent out by a whole different ISP.
See http://www.whatip.com/ip/128.32.0.0 versus http://www.whatip.com/ip/208.68.0.0 (For Seti, more specifically http://www.whatip.com/ip/208.68.240.0)

Mailman has as ISP University of California.
Seti/BOINC has as ISP Vinakom Communications, from Illinois.

Perhaps that there's a problem there.

That is where I would begin looking.

<edit time expired>Seeing from the Seti link the orginization is https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/1048009D:FH-lapin-informaatioteknologia-lapit-oy the listed company, I suspect there has been an hijack and Berkeley IST needs to sort this.
However I see https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-208-68-240-0-1/pft?s=208.68.240.0 Lists more what I'd expect. Now I'm beginning to wonder if some hackers have gotten into parts of the DNS system and upset it.

I did send headers of emails as received on my Gmail addresses from Seti, BOINC and the boinc_* mailer to Jeff, Eric, Matt and David this morning. David assured me they would look into things.

I just got a massive dump here, over 90 messages dating back several weeks in some cases, from all the BOINC forums to which I subscribe. Looks like whatever the log jam was has been resolved.
