Hi,  
I just realized that for the last several months no emails are getting sent from my discourse site. The Skipped tab on email shows this error repeatedly :

551 1.2.3 Domain Spoofing Prohibited

What can I do to fix this?

It’s probably an issue with whoever your mail delivery service is. Have a look at [Troubleshooting email on a new Discourse install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshooting-email-on-a-new-discourse-install/16326).

Several months?!

And I thought I’d had it bad, lasting almost a month before I caught a persistent error in email due to a change in my email provider’s verification rules that I’d somehow missed the notification about.

Which leads me to ask: shouldn’t multiple errors in Skipped get escalated to some major warning on the Dashboard?

For me it’s currently _waaaay_ too easy to miss these and it can be devastating to site engagement!:

- No new sign-ups
- No password resets
- No reply notifications

A month of that and your site is already in _big_ trouble!

Yeah, it’s probably that. I have another service I can use instead (Mailjet) so I’ll try switching to that.
