email delivery problem

My medical provider has an interface that mediates between provider and client. It is, as you might immagine, behind a firewall. When a provider sends a message to a client, the system sends a "You have mail" email to the client, using regular email protocols.

 

My issue is that much of the time the email that they are supposed to send does not appear in my HughesNet mailbox.

 

Wonderful opportunity for finger pointing?

 

In response to my request for a log, this is what I received:

 

You can let your email provider know that our email notifications are sent from the following email address: MYCHART.SUPPORT@UCDMC.UCDAVIS.EDU The SMTP response codes for the emails sent to your email address indicate that the messages are being successfully delivered from our system to their recipient email server. The most recent email message sent to you was on 10/22/20 at 5:25 pm Pacific time.

 

Is it possible to use this data to determine what might have happened? FWIW, I clear my mailbox hourly and delete messages once they are downloaded. The referenced email is not in my trash folder.

Hi Geoffrey,

 

Thank you for your patience while we worked on this. The e-mail admins made some adjustments on our side which will hopefully allow these e-mail notifications to get to you. Please let me know whenever one of these e-mails arrive.

 

Thanks,

Liz

Good morning Geoffrey,

 

Thank you for this information, it helps. Our e-mail admins investigated and found spam imprints for the sender. If possible, please privately message me an example of one of the e-mails so our admins can see what's triggering our spam detector.

 

Thanks,

Liz

Liz,

 

Sorry, I don't understand. Which email are you asking me to forward?

Any progress on a resolution?

Good morning Geoffrey,

 

The e-mail admins would like another example of the e-mails if possible. Based on what you sent me last time, our e-mail admins investigated and found spam imprints for the sender. Another example of one of the e-mails may help our admins see what's triggering our spam detector.

Reply from sender's tech support; A polite middle finger.

 

The configuration for our e-mail tickers cannot be changed per Hughes.net suggestion. If you do not wish to have the e-mail tickers we send go to spam I would suggest asking their support how to prevent certain e-mail senders from going to spam. They should have a workaround for this.

Oof. Thanks for this. Let me see what our e-mail admins have to say about this.

UCD tech support replied to my request for a test at 0945 today. I did not receive the expected email. 

 

FWIW, the Hudhesnet email interface has a setting for "Blocked and Allowed Senders". Under "Allowed Senders and Domains", I have the entry "mychart.support@ucdmc.ucdavis.edu". This does not appear to have the effect of passing email from ucdavis.

Not sure it it will allow this, but try changing it to:

   @*.ucdavis.edu

In theory, that should allow anything from the ucdavis.edu domain, regardless of subdomain or username.

Good morning Geoffrey,

 

Thanks for this update, I've let our e-mail admins know. I'll post back once I have any other news or additional instructions.
