Placing Ad on Ebrandon
Jan 12 at 3:16 PM

Has anyone had any issues getting the confirmation link to complete the addition of an ad? Everytime I try to place an ad, it states there’s issues with Westman Communications. But I’m getting other emails from Westman just fine and nothing in my spam or junk folder.

Thanks!

Howdy,

With the server change I made, some providers' spam filters might temporarily see emails from the site differently. I've sent a note to Westman support to see if they can do us a favour and 'whitelist' any messages sent by eBrandon just to make sure they dont inadvertently get plucked out as spam.
In the mean time if you happen to have a Gmail or Outlook/hotmail account, messages sent through either look to be getting through a-ok.

I'll update when I know more!

WCG emails
Jan 12 at 6:35 PM

I just made a change that it looks like has addressed this for anyone with a WCG email address.

I am not getting that email either. Have tried from 2 different email addresses. Still needs work
Update: The Gmail worked, but the inethome.ca did not.

Best move would be to contact Inetlink support and ensure that they're letting emails through to you that are sent by eBrandon. Different providers will have different aspects to their spam filters. I'm following standard practice as far as Reverse DNS, DKIM and user opt in to receive emails but maybe there's something more I can do for their service's needs.

Just looking at confirmations over the last while that have gone through and it looks like all clear through Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail, Yahoo, WCG Wave, MTS. I do see an Inetlink one that appears to have gotten through last night so it might even be something specific to your account.

If talking to their support you can tell them I did look in the log files and interestingly saw at least two different inet users whose emails came back with this error with the server tried sending:
"Recipient address rejected: user (username removed for privacy)@goinet.ca does not exist"
Feel free to contact me direct to verify, but it looks to me like yours is one of those.
Keep me posted on what you find out!
