tephraSo the server is back up, yay!
Of course I changed my email with LJ during the outage so I could keep track of things, therefore the first order of business was to change it back to my normal email address.
I'm not getting email from LJ.
So I go and force LJ to send another validation email. I do that about half a dozen times. No validation emails arrive.
I go log into my server (yay for shell accounts and SSH!) and go through my procmail filters. Nothing to mark LJ mail as spam in there but I whitelist LJ anyway.
Try having LJ mail me a validation a few more times.
Log back into my server and check my mail logs, nothing from LJ, not even something getting caught in the assorted server side spam filtering I have going.
Change my email with LJ back to my meowmail count and get a validation immediately.
It's not LJ.
It's not my filters or ISP.
Email the admin of my server. Discover that I need to have Thunderbird purge the old site certificates so I can actually send email. Poke around and find where it stores them and delete the old certs, accept the new ones, then send the email.
We're hoping it's just some lingering DNS cache issues and not the DSL provider.
So I find myself hoping I'll get eight or ten invalid validation emails in the next day or so.
