Can’t get a new moblog to accept inbound emails.

I notice this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/101750/ suggests that the destination email must be associated with the domain. Is this true?

ExpressionEngine 1.6.7 - 20090211

It can be, depending on the hosting setup.  Are you using gmail or a similar email service?  Can you setup an email coming from the domain and give that a try?

the domain is on enginehosting. the destination address is on another enginehosting domain. i’ll have them set up a dummy i can use.

okay, also double check your pop settings & let’s see if that works.

Ehh… Tried that. Direct cut-paste from the email client where I can see the inbound posts that aren’t being accepted.

Can you send emails through the communicate module?  Please go to:  Admin -> System Preferences -> Email Configuration and turn email debugging to ‘on’ and give that a try. 

-greg

yes, i can send emails through the communicate module.

the only debug msg i get is “your msg has been successfully sent using mail”

okay.  Do you have an email that’s not associated with that domain you can try?  Gmail can be tricky so something else would be good.

-greg

yeah, that’s where i started (non-gmail), but no good.

mmcclung,

What actually happens when you send the email. Do you get the error in the CP or do you get a returned email in your client?

What Email settings are you using in the Moblog module, POP3?

Do you have a Subject Prefix set?
Is Authorization Required in Email set to yes or no?
Are you using the Valid ‘From’ Emails for Moblog feature?
