ah you’re right. In the, I looked at bounced mail for root and saw that email to hotmail was blocked due to CBL http://cbl.abuseat.org/
Read their advice and delisted my blocked ip.
all sorted now- was a stupid mistake.
Hello Songdogtech, thanks for your reply. I’m not sure exactly where to look. I had a look under phpmyadmin under wpress_options but can’t locate an option to change image locations. On the live blog, i see that image files are in wp-content/uploads/ which have been copied over to my server. Is it somewhere on the dashboard?
