Not receiving MSE (and other) emails. "secureserver.net" not actually forwarding mail?

I've been having issues for the last few months with receiving emails from various sources, including anything from the "moneysavingexpert.com" domain. Today I finally had enough and decided to investigate what's been going on.

Looking at the headers of emails from lists which are no longer being sent the common denominator is that emails relayed though systems under the "secureserver.net" domain are no longer being delivered, and that this coincided with 123-reg (a.k.a. GoDaddy) reneging on their email forwarding contract.


Emails distributed via other mass emailers seem to have no issue.

Anyone else having this issue?

    Solved. Beth from the MSE site looked into it for me and apparently my domain had been blocked due to emails being sent to it encountering a "hard bounce". I think the reasons is back in February my domain host (123-reg) was taken over by GoDaddy who reneged on the 10-year email forwarding contract I had. I wasn't willing to pay twice so they removed the forwards, and presumably hence the issue.
