I set my domain to forward all emails to my Gmail account.  I've noticed recently that some emails are going missing.  A few purchase confirmation emails that I was waiting for never arrived.  Is anyone having a similar issue?

Maybe they're getting flagged as spam? Do you have some sort of "spam" or "bulk" or "junk" mail folder you could look in? Was the email left in your LP mail and not forwarded, or did it disappear?

Nope, I've checked, it's not in the spam folder.  I have my domain setup for forward only, it doesn't go into the LP mailbox.  I think it's been like this for several week, or maybe I just never noticed it in the past.

Same problem here.

I just signed up with twitter using one of my domains and they're posting this message at the top:

"Is your email address active? We've tried to send emails to 'twitter@ezcg.com', but they are not getting delivered.
Please update your email settings or try sending a message again to your current address."

Doing a test from my email client to any of my domains (eg. test@slimandbusty.com) reveals none are being forwarded to my gmail account.

I am receiving emails sent to my gmail account that use 'sampleusername@gmail.com'

Nuts.

Email sent from gmail to twitter@ezcg.com works when forwarded to my isp email address.

I guess gmail is blocking email lunarpages servers - at least when forwarded.

That is a possibility.

To test:

1. Use webmail to login to twitter@ezcg.com on our account.
2, send an email to your gmail address
3. wait 1hr , then check twitter@ezcg.com again via webmail, see if you get a bounceback.

If theres a bounceback, then it should give a reason, however i have seen a few cases where gmail blocked forwarders but not direct emails.   

Make sure to whitelist twitter@ezcg.com in your gmail account.

This might be a different thing. There seems to be an issue with Twitter. I get the same thing but if I mail the address registered with Twitter it arrives fine.

I have lost emails though. To be honest it doesn't sound like the same problem and I don't want to hijack the thread but I thought I'd mention it just in case there is a bigger issue going on. I've turned off Spamassassin for the time being but that won't be relevant to the original poster if not going through the LP mailserver. I won't know if it's had an effect for a while though.
