Synology Push Notifications and Cox Email
I've had a Synology NAS for a few years now, and within' the last 3 weeks, I no longer receive push notifications to my cox email. It has worked fine for years. I have tested push notifications using my business email address, and that works fine, so something has changed with Cox email. I have also checked my Spam folder and Spam settings, neither has made a difference.
Issues with email routing from Cox to domain that was formerly hosted with Cox
My client switched providers a few months back and ever since then, their contacts that still use Cox services are unable to send or receive email from them. Services were moved from Cox to Google GSuite to prevent the need of moving email service if they found they did not like their new carrier. All other senders from the internet at large are able to deliver emails to the same domain at the new MX record, only senders on Cox are unable to send to us from what I can gather. The sender doesn't appear to be receiving any bounced email message from reports. I called in to open a ticket and got bounced around a few times and then told some unusual statement that Cox is having issues delivering mail to Gmail. I asked the lady on the phone if this issue has been going on for nearly 4 months, and she noncommittally stated it could have been going on longer. I find that hard to believe, so I'm hoping this post will actually reach someone with some insight into the email and DNS servers on the Cox network. The domain that was migrated away from Cox is brsoccer.org. Current, correct MX record is:aspmx.l.google.comX-Spam-Optin: quarantine on Safe email - Why?
For over 2 months, I get safe email sent to my spam. Why? And what can I do to stop it? Below is a screen shot of the source. Ok, my curiosity has gotten the best of me! For the last couple or 3 months, all email from CD Notifications, except Messages, go in my Cox (internet provider) spam folder. When I was on CFF, there was a fellow who taught us to use "Message Source" or "View Source". This shows the code to get a notification/message from point A to point B. This is the last notification received in Cox spam. Notice in the last line is X-Spam-Optin:quarantine Return-Path: <xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com> Delivered-To: 3@5432210 Received: from imap-director-139.dovecot.iad.rs.oxcs.net ([10.12.5.139]) by imap-backend-179.dovecot.iad.rs.oxcs.net with LMTP id MMIfEeJ4al9rfQAAhaiikw (envelope-from <xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com>) for <3@5432210>; Tue, 22 Sep 2020 22:21:22 +0000 Received: from mx.cox.rs.oxcs.net ([10.12.2.5]) by imap-director-139.dovecot.iad.rs.oxcs.net with LMTP id CKH1EOJ4al/sPQAADbfQuw (envelope-from <xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com>) for <3@5432210.contexts.internal.oxcs.net>; Tue, 22 Sep 2020 22:21:22 +0000 Received: from cxr-ibgw-5006a.stratus.cloudmark.com (cox.imta.a.cloudfilter.net [35.171.111.2]) (using TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by mx.cox.rs.oxcs.net (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 4Bwwkp1sXTz1Ljsp for <xxxxxxxx@cox.net>; Tue, 22 Sep 2020 22:21:22 +0000 (UTC) Received: from mail-wm1-f49.google.com ([209.85.128.49]) by cmsmtp with ESMTP id Kqefkepf1IL43Kqf3kaJT0; Tue, 22 Sep 2020 22:21:22 +0000 X-Spam-Optin: quarantine I have gone into Cox email to Create Filter Rule. I wanted to Redirect to InBox, which says invalid. Any ideas on why CD notifications ONLY have the X-Spam command? Like I say, it's been at least 2 months.
Stop blaming Cox, you whiners!
Since I first discovered this forum I've read many dozens of questions in which users blame Cox for their email or internet problems. Many others chime in with posts like "Yeah, I have the same problem" or something like "Me too. I'm sick of it. Cox **" But have these whiners called Cox technical support, describing their problem in an intelligible and thoroughly descriptive manner? I can surmise from the posts and replies that the answer is mostly "No". My experience with Cox has been more then satisfactory. I did have to call Cox technical support once for a modem issue that only they could resolve.. And they did, in a heartbeat. If you have internet problems and your device is a PC then I can tell you the primary source of such problems are: - Registry cleaners like Ccleaner et al. If you let programs such as this modify your registry you might as well reinstall Wndows to get it working properly again. - Installing device drivers from "who knows where". - 3rd-party ant-malware software. You don't need that **. Rely on Windows Defender. - Editing your registry or configuration based on info from non-Microsoft websites or upon the advice of your neighbor's cousin's 14 year old "PC guru" son. And the list goes on. I'm an EE and certified IT specialist. Let Windows take care of itself. Uninstall 3rd party anti-malware software. Don't install drivers from ANY of the many "device driver" sites. Don't open emails from sources you don't recognize and don't go browsing where you shouldn't be browsing. Or you could install one of the many Linux distros. But if you're not an expert coder you'll find yourself up the creak without a paddle. At this point all I can say is that I'm running Window 10 with all current updates installed and my device drivers are maintained by appropriate sources. Windows runs great and my Cox internet connectivity is impeccable. If you have a problem, call Cox. Most of the recommendations you may receive here are 3rd party misinformation, even from the moderator (sorry, whoever you are but dems da facts).
Limits on email addresses in a single email
I monitor a community website in a residential community I live in. I need to send an occasional email to the group of users, numbering about 250. I've done it in the past but today when I tried to send one, it hung up in my Outlook out box. The file was only 2 MB. I consulted the Community Forum and it appears that others have had this issue in the past week. When I contacted Cox web mail and mail support they told me that there was no limit that they could find. However on a previous post a contributor said that a Cox employee verified that a group email could have no more than 9 addresses. Which is true? And is there a limit? When Cox makes these changes, they should be more transparent with their users. They felt free to raise my monthly charge by $15 in the last several months, but when that increased fee is accompanied by reduced services, that does not make me happy
