Email was fine for months, but now not...

Hi
Email was working fine for months for a client who has their web site hosted at Business Catalyst, but their email is hosted externally with 1&1.
However, on Saturday morning at 7am GMT, the emails stopped working.
To my knowledge, no settings have been changed in the BC Admin Panel for DNS.
Here are the DNS entries as of today...
$ host -v swifthire.co.uk

...and yet emails are not being received at the 1&1 mail servers.
I have logged a ticket with 1&1 Technical Support, but in the meantime...
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Paully

The only minor problem I see in that setup is that both MX records have the same priority level, which is set to 10 - http://www.dnswatch.info/dns/dnslookup?la=en&host=swifthire.co.uk&type=MX&submit=Resolve
But that means that the mail may be sent to sometimes to mx01.1and1.co.uk and somatimes to mx00.1and1.co.uk.
1to1 recomendation is to set mx01.1and1.co.uk to 20 as per http://faq.1and1.com/domains/domain_admin/dns_settings/5.html 
But this should not stop the mail from being delivered.
So, whatever the issue is it's certainly not at the DNS level and anyone who knows anything about DNS from 1to1 should be able to tell that by a simple DNS lookup.

    I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
    I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
    It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard.  I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences.  The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork.  I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
      I’ve been having to this every day now.  Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

    I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I cannot download and then bring up Firefox. I had been using it for months but now when I clik on the Icon I get nothing !

    I have been using Firefox for months, but now when I click on the icon I cannot open a page. I tried downloading again but still get tnothing.
    I can get on Explore just fine but I want to get back to using Mozilla Firefox.

    Nothing is worse than IE.
    You can try the following:
    Save your bookmarks.html in
    %userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\
    Delete the whole content of the profiles-directory
    Then create a new profile and start FF again. Now you can import your bookmarks.
    Otherwise look here:

  • New tab page was fine for MONTHS, had an image I uploaded. Today, I got a 'safe' mode whatever, and my image is gone. How do I restore it, so my image comes up?

    I had set up my new tab page with an image I uploaded. It worked fine for months, if not years.
    Today, I got a 'crash' that asked me to start Firefox in 'safe' mode or 'restore'. I chose 'restore'.
    Thereupon, my image was gone from my new tab page. I cannot find how to restore it, and add ons that supposedly allow me to add my own image are not helpful. At least, I cannot figure them out.
    Can you provide help on a computer for dummies level?

    Sounds that you have reset Firefox and created a new profile.
    You can try to create a new profile or reset Firefox.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.<br />
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    You can try to restore the prefs.js file and copy this file from the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop shortcut to the current Firefox program folder.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

    Flash player worked for months.  But today suddenly the video part stopped working.  So I have audio and a blank screen.  This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating system
    Browser
    Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
    Web Page URL
    Steps to reproduce
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
    Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/ahzL63
    Non-HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/cqNb3w

  • Adobe Reader document was enabled for editing but now won't let me edit

    I'm hoping someone can help me solve this issue. I have Adobe Reader 9.1 and have been editing a PDF that was enabled for commenting and
    text edits by another party. However, when I went to open the PDF tonight, I got a message telling me "The document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available" and I can no longer use sticky note and text editing tools. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Many, many thanks!

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • My ipod was formatted for Windows but now I'm buying the Mac G5

    Am I going to be able to re-format my windows ipod to mac?
    It would be terrible if I bought this new Apple computer and couldn't use my windows ipod.

    Hello Christine, welcome to discussions.
    You have two options.
    Your Mac will be able to use a Windows formatted iPod, so one option is to simply do nothing. It'll work fine the way it is now.
    The other option, which I recommend, is to use the iPod Updater on the Mac, and re-format the iPod for the Mac.
    This should give you a bit better performace for data transfers, and you'll also be able to update the firmware on the iPod if/when a new firmware is released.

  • Is there any final answer to why emails will not send when away from home IP?  Have san diego road runner.  emails send fine from home, but do not send when using another IP.

    Is there a final answer to why emails do not send from iphones when away from home IP?

    This is a common anti-spam technique for ISPs to prevent mail from being sent from anywhere other than your service location. Ask Road Runner if there are any specific settings you can use to circumvent this.

  • What can I do about slow browser on new p7-1298c? It worked fine for awhile but now slows to a crawl

    I have a new Pavillion p7-1298c with windows 7-64 bit. It has slowed to a crawl while browsing the internet it takes 5 to 10 minutes to load a single page. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried this?
    Boot into the Administrator account.
    Right-click on Internet Explorer.
    Click on Security tab.
    See if you are able to provide FULL control to the Standard User account.
    Next, boot into Standard User account and try to launch IE.  Any change?
    You may also want to check to make sure that Protected Mode is OFF.
    You can check whether Protected Mode is enabled by using File>Properties.
    You can change that state by using Internet Options Security Settings via IE Tools.

    Please help.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?

    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal

    Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
