    Problems reported sending emails via Gmail account

    14:18 on 10th Jan

    We are aware of an issue affecting some users sending emails using a Gmail account when changing the 'Send As' address to the service email address. As the emails are not being sent via our servers they do not include a DKIM signature, which can result in failed authentication checks. This can then result in the receiving server rejecting the email or marking it as spam.This can be resolved by sending emails via our servers using one of the following methods:
    1. Send emails using our Webmail program
    2. Add your service email address to Gmail using SMTP
    Please note: SMTP is not included with Free Webmail accounts.You can check which of our email packages you are using by logging into your account and going to the My Account page (see button in the top right of Webmail)If you wish to, you are can upgrade an account so that includes SMTP by please doing the following:
    • Go to the My Account page
    • Click See Upgrades, select a package or bolt on and proceed to checkout.
    If you have any questions or need any assistance, please feel free to contact our Helpdesk at help@aluminati.net and we will be happy to help.

    I don't think I am receiving any emails.

    If an email that you are expecting has not arrived in your inbox, there are several steps you can follow in order to determine the cause:

    • Check the junk & trash folders: Sometimes emails may be flagged as spam by mistake. If you have not received an email to your inbox, you can check the junk and trash folders of your account. If the email is in one of these folders, you may wish to add the address to your Whitelist. You can find out more about whitelisting an email in our help guide here.
    • Check if your account is set to auto-forward: If your Account is has been set up with a forwarding address, any emails you receive may be automatically sent on to another address and not kept within your inbox. For a guide on forwarding and how to find these settings, please see our help guide here.
    • Confirm that the sender has used the correct address: Please double check that the sender of the email has used your correct email address to send to. The address sent to must match your email address, or it will not reach your account. You may also wish to confirm if the sender received a bounce message or not.
    If you can't find an email that you were expecting to be delivered to your inbox, please contact our helpdesk at help@aluminati.net with as much detail as possible about the email.

    Please include details of your Email Address, the sending email address, and the Date/Time the email was sent. We will be able to check our server logs for details of what happened to the email.
