 * Outgoing trackbacks are not sending. Internal trackbacks are fine (link to older
   articles…).
 * I checked my blog settings and they are fine. I disabled all plug-ins, and read
   about 1000 diffrent articles about the same things. Very frustrating.
 * My hosting guys have no idea where to look… So what can block outgoing trackbacks
   on a server? Something on the server, security stuff, errors?
 * ITs a VDS –
    CentOS 5 cPanel Nagios Dedicated IP

 * Do you mean they are not being seen on the other sites?

 * They will be being sent – it’s just they are being stopped at the receiving site.
 * When pingbacks and trackbacks became a thing years ago it was excellent. But 
   then the spammers saw they could get traffic to their own spammy sites by also
   sending these pingbacks and trackbacks. They created software which would send
   these without them having even visited your site. And they send millions. Over
   99.9% of trackbacks sent are spam. So you will find that most trackbacks are 
   now blocked. Spammers ruined the feature.

 * Nah, I tested with my own blogs. It’s not sending anything. I don’t know where
   to look…
