677950 2008-06-13 02:17:00 A collegue has an Xtra Broadband account. 1 Router connected to 2 computers back to back in an Office (I set it all up)

He has 2 email addresses (true mailboxes, not a alias)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been going fine for over a year but a few weeks ago a weirdie occurred

Computer 2 can send an email to computer 1 and send one to itself

Computer 1 can send an email to computer 2 but not to to itself

All other emails to Computer 1 come in normally as far as we are aware Nobody has complained about not getting replies to emails

The email goes and just vanishes

The problem address is the main account. Computer 2 is the extra mailbox and as I said, mail from this one arrives fine

I have sent using the address book or manually entered address.

I tried creating a new address book entry but nothing works

I sent a message using the "send only" option and checked the server with mailwasher but nothing.

I turned off the firewall long enough to test but still no change

Checked the account on Yahoo but its not appearing in the spam filter either.

Does anyone have any thoughts that I could try

Many thanks

677952 2008-06-13 06:26:00 If you have mailwasher set up on Computer 1 I would have a close look to see if you have any rules set up in it to block receiving messages that have your own address in the From Field. Safari (3993)
