Problem found. Well, problems found.

Firstly:

SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<mail@golfgtiforum.co.uk> SIZE=3379:
    host mx1.hotmail.com [65.54.188.126]: 550 SC-001 Unfortunately, messages from 70.38.11.38 weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list.

Forum on Hotmail junk email block list.

Secondly:

All the bounce messages filled up the forum mail account. Just clearing that, along with all the email in there from people replying to pm notifications, even though it says "IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email".

You're not on the main blacklists, which is always a good thing:

However Golfgti.co.uk is on BackScatterer, you may want to bring that up with that hosting provider, too.

Nice toolz. Second item is odd as that doesn't send out forum mail at all! Then again, it is only 1 on that great list.

I thought I'd just check that domain too, being a nosey bugger 'n all. It'll only effect you if an ISP who receives an email from you, subscribes to that list. You'll be removed after 28 March anyway.

Hotmail users - Not getting email notifications for messages

Ticket opened with msn/hotmail.

All email from this forum to hotmail accounts is currently being blocked - as a hotmail user you won't receive pm notifications, password reset details etc until this is resolved.

Does this mean that we'll get about 50,000 when the problem is resolved?
