Yeah but there is the worry that things could get worse if it isn't dealt with. Best to collate what ever info we can to assist Joe in rectifying the problem before it escalates into something worse.

I have found it to appear sometimes but not at other times. A bit intermittent. I'm trying to see if I can find a pattern as to when it does happen. So far it's only been on some occasions when replying to a post in an existing thread but not when editing a post I've made or when I start a new thread.

I think it might be when posting to an old thread where people have requested to be emailed whenever there is a post. But they email address in their profile is either too old or wrong.

Which threads is this happening on? I haven't seen it yet, although I do get several bounced emails per day saying an email address that the forum is trying to send messages to does not exist.

Ok cool. Sounds a likely reason. It is referring to mailing problems. I'll take note in the future and let you know. Make it easier to check.

Maybe it isn't! This being a new thread that I didn't flag to email me (unless someone else set a flag for replies) and it just did it on my last reply to you Joe!!

This is the meassage I got:

hehe, I think it was me causing the problem Embarassed

It's a bit convoluted but basically I had my profile email set as joe.lipson at hotgemini.com but the thing is hotgemini email is handled on another server to better manage spam, so the joe.lipson user / address is set up externally. The problem is the forum ( or the emailer it uses ) thinks that joe.lipson at hotgemini.com is a local address and just tries a direct local delivery. This is failing because there is no joe.lipson user here.

this would explain why i haven't seen it too.

I've changed my email address, lets see if it keeps happening.

That'll cost you a slab for stress and disorientation! Laughing

I was starting to think the forum was on the verge of a big crash again! Lets hope that redirect error is the cause of it all.

DEAL, but I don't want any of that crappy US stuff.

On a sort of side note, you have to enter your date of birth to access the Miller web site!! LOL
Kid you not, they do an age check to even let you sniff the site, let alone drink their brew.

Millers Genuine Draft (MGD) isn't a bad beer, the rest of the US stuff belongs down the drain lol. Atleast they didn't do too bad on most of their whiskeys.

hehe, there is a lot of crappy beer here, but a lot of good stuff too, just takes time to find it. I tend to stay away from the big names, there's a ton of smaller micro breweries that do good work. I've even been brewing my own at home for the past 6 months.

you guys can have some when I start brewing in Australia again Smile
