Hi,
We still run Phorum version 3, and we have now got a small problem. One user is complayning that he can not get any email-responses. I have checked just about everything. The only I can still think of is his email-adress. It is in the form xxx@xxx-xxxx.xx. In other words it contains a "-". Could this be the problem?

No, he can select the option, but he never gets any responses on this mail-adress. Any responses simply disappear in cyberspace.
He then tried to enter another mail-address in his profile, and then everything works the way it should.
Therefore the first thought was of course that the problem would be at the webhotel, where his domain is hosted. However, several other users have their own domains at the very same webhotel (including myself), and we do not have this problem. The only difference, I can see is that he has a domain-name that includes a "-".
To make things even more complicated, he now says that it used to work (some months ago). In the meantime we have AFAIK only made one change in the setup: We have blocked email-responses to anonymous users.
But he has used a profile all the time, so this can hardly be the reason?
