Email Notifications Failing (mostly Telstra)

Hello everyone. Seems there is an issue with Telstra (possible others) blocking email from our server. If you are trying to sign up I would suggest a different email if possible. If you're trying to reset your password and it fails please use the Contact Us page:

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VWWatercooled Mail Server Changes

    For anyone still using their vwwatercooled mail, you should receive an email from me shortly.

    Two things are happening:

    1) Legacy settings are finally being retired.
    If you haven't already updated your incoming/outgoing mail settings, now is the time.

    Incoming and outgoing settings used to be box469.bluehost.com but were updated to mail.vwwatercooled.com a long while back. I have been advised by the host today that the older setting will stop working in a week or so and need to be updated on the client side.

    New Secure SSL/TSL Settings:
    Username: The full email address you are wishing to access (yourname@vwwatercooled.com)
    Password: The password for that email account.
    Outgoing Server: mail.vwwatercooled.com
    SMTP Port: 465
    Incoming Server: mail.vwwatercooled.com
    IMAP Port: 993
    POP3 Port: 995
    Authentication: Password



    2) Account Review
    There are alot of email accounts still floating about that are unused, many from expired supporter subscriptions. Emails will be going out to all accounts shortly for confirmation. Any accounts that are not confirmed will go through a process of being suspended and then removed as inactive in the new year.

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
Working...
