Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me out, as I'm not getting much joy from support after 48 hours or so.
Quick rundown. I'm sharing a hosting plan with a 'partner' who has all the billing privelidges.
Unbeknownst to me, the account had been unpaid for a number of months and my domains/sub-domains and email addresses were all of a sudden suspended the other day.
I contacted support and they informed me about the non-payment and suggested (as a one-off) that I open a new hosting account of my own and (as I was an innocent party) they would get the domains transferred over to the new account.
I've opened the new account and am currently (still!) waiting for the domains to be transferred.
In the meantime, my partner (who I've been unable to contact) has apparently made a payment and the old account is now active again. All the sites are back online but a problem persists with the email. I'm able to send emails from all the accounts, but unable to check.
OE does not report any errors and gives the appearance that it's checking everything OK, but when sending emails from another account (not with dreamhost) it gets bounced. This is the message that it gives (I've substituted [username] for my email address, and [ipaddress] for my ip address):

Does anybody know if this is something I can solve from my end? Although there's never a good time, it couldn't have come at a worse time!
Thanks in advance!
