I have my own website I use for a few minor things, inc use of the emails which I get gmail to pick up. But it seems to have failed lately. The website still works, and I can log on through my cpanel to look at email and even send one to my gmail, but if I send an email to my website email (any of the email addresses I have) it fails. In gmail it has this if I look at complete header etc. Can anyone makes sense of it? (I've changed my gmail address to xxxx in this post to stop spam):

The name server settings on your domain are incorrect, or your host's (justhostme.net) nameservers are down.

There are different name servers listed for justhostme than the ones you have got set on your domain, but those nameservers still don't have any MX records for your domain.

Phone call to them in the morning.

Your domain isn't returning anything on a DNS lookup and justhostme.net' s name servers are not responding. They need to sort it out (and you probably need to move to a better hosting company).

ah.

thanks

(annoying as of course I recently renewed my m/bike insurance using that email address! No docs received!)

BTW I don't understand any of this stuff. Is one of these settings anything I can change? ie I'm trying to make sure it's not something I should be entering differently is it? I remember entering nameserver stuff on gmail to get it working before.

No, you need to call justhostme to get it resolved.

thanks, you were right. Bit of a lame response though - no indication of how long its been like that! Who knows how many important emails I've missed! That's half the point of having my own reliable email - gits . No apology either.

",

I have corrected the name servers of your domain. Your email issue should now be resolved.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us."

Honestly this is why if you need reliable email it's usually simpler to just use Gmail or 365 - they're not without fault but offer a lot more flexibility and enterprise features than the stuff you get with a basic we bhosting package.

Senders would have got a bounce message so at least they will know that their mail didn't get through.

Whois was showing your domain last updated in 2013 before today's changes, so it's something that's changed re. justhostme's nameservers rather than a setting you've messed with. i.e. they messed things up. They probably re-arranged some of their back end without properly checking who was using what.
