    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.

    Emails people send to me are bouncing back to them!

    If your contacts inform you that they receive a bounced/undeliverable message notice when they email your email address, the first step is to check that your account is not over quota. You can view your current quota usage by going to your Inbox and viewing it in the bottom left. For more details of your quota, you can read our help article here.

    If your Account is over quota, Emails that are sent to you will be bounced back to the sender. You will need to delete or archive some of your Emails before you can receive any more. You can also upgrade your Account to have more quota space.

    If your Account is under your quota, and your contacts are still receiving bounced messages, you will be able to determine the cause of this from the bounce message itself. It will have details of the cause of the bounce. You may wish to ask your contact to forward the bounced message to you.

    If you are not sure how to interpret the bounce message, or need further assistance with why messages to your account are being bounced, please contact our helpdesk at help@aluminati.net.
