I originally set it up with an att.net account, but I no longer have access to that address. I changed my member profile to my new email address and I'm getting announcements, ARES E-letters, etc delivered as expected. However, the forwarding address was not updated. I tried to 'force' the system to update my address. I 'unchecked' the 'opt-in' email account box on my profile page and saved my profile. Then I closed and reopened the profile page, checked the opt-in box and saved again. But I'm still getting messages rejected by the att.net account so my emails are not being forwarded to my new email address. Any thoughts? 73, Wes Freeman kg6pov

It suggests waiting six hours for the forwarding to update. To Test Your @arrl.net Alias Please allow approximately 6 hours for the e-mail forwarding service to activate after you have selected or modified the information Please send a test e-mail from an account other than the address in the "E-mail" field in your profile. Test messages cannot be sent to yourself. For Example, your e-mail address is jsmith@comcast.net and your arrl.net alias is xxxxx@arrl.net. If you send a message from jsmith@comcast.net to your xxxxx@arrl.net alias the message will not forward back into your jsmith@comcast.net inbox. Send a test message from an alternate account to get a reliable test and avoid a bounced message. Note: You cannot have your e-mail set to forward to your xxxx@arrl.net alias. This action causes a mail routing loop and mail will fail to be delivered. Also, a bounced message usually does not get generated in this situation. For Example, your e-mail address is jsmith@comcast.net and your arrl.net alias is xxxxx@arrl.net. You cannot have jsmith@comcast.net forwarding to your xxxxx@arrl.net alias. Note: A common bounce message that is received through the arrl.net forwarding is the "User unknown" bounce. This may mean that you are not opted-in for the forwarding service or you are not a current active member of ARRL. Please make sure you are opted-in to use the arrl.net forwarding service and you are a current active member of ARRL. Example of a bounce message: c-pb-mx-quonix.pobox.com rejected your message to the following e-mail addresses: w6dmg@arrl.net (w6dmg@arrl.net) c-pb-mx-quonix.pobox.com gave this error: : Recipient address rejected: User unknown Note: Average spam messages per @arrl.net alias per day are between 5 - 10 messages. ARRL does not filter @arrl.net aliases on a per user basis. If you find that you are receiving excess of 10 messages per day, please e-mail itstaff@arrl.org. Please remember that not all spam going into your e-mail inbox is from the arrl.net forwarding service. Examination of the header information is needed to find if the message came through the arrl.net forwarding service. Note: If you find that mail is slow to be delivered or seems to be completely down please visit https://twitter.com/pobox to find out what may be happening with our third party arrl.net provider. Why doesn’t my arrl.net address work when I try to test it? Note: If a message is sent from the same address that is receiving the message (ie your arrl.net destination address), it is very likely that the message will be silently deleted. This happens to prevent spam from being sent with forged mail headers or to prevent the possibility of the message looping. This filtering is being done by the sending and/or receiving ISPs and NOT by ARRL, therefore ARRL has no control over what occurs with these messages. Note: Over time ARRL has seen an increasing number of ISP’s implementing these checks, and the responding to the situation in different ways. Some silently drop messages, others might generate a rejection or bounce message. Some have even taken the steps of banning future messages from the same email address or even email server.

Where does one alter the ARRL.NET forwarding information? My new server is RCN, not SECTV, so I need to have the new forward email address as: bobgre1@rcn.com. bobgre1@rcn.com (no longer bobgre1@ptd.net). Address for my Profile has changed from 346

One instruction takes the user to an online form for setting up club -- not individual -- email forwarding. Trying to figure out how to opt in as an idiviual and change the parameters later is pretty mysterious. I hate having to tie up HQ staff with something that should be very easy via the member portal. Even for us dolts.

Has something changed? It seems like this roughly coincided with a system migration to occurred this spring. Is there some new setting I need to do? I've looked all over my profile pages and I don't see anywhere where we can 'Opt In' or 'Opt Out' for this service any more. r/ Andy - K5QR

Any ideas on how to get his restored? When I called ARRL support several months ago they said the feature was still broken. I guess I'll try calling in again to see what's up.

I have set it up on my account page, but whenever I send a test message from a different account, it gets : Remote Server returned '554 5.1.1 ' Is this member benefit discontinued, or not working ? I use this address on my APRS beacon.
