server wide email blocking
OK, I'm stumped.
I'm trying to get account information emailed to me from vbulletin and no matter what email address on my server I used it never arrives. This is a recent problem because i have not had problems receiving email from them in the past.
I don't have any email filtering in place on the server and I even went and deleted all the email accounts on the hmtk.com domain and rebuilt them again. I'm still getting all the spam I got before but I am no closer to figuring out why this one domain would be blocked. My next step is to contact the company that hosts my server but I can't think of any reason why they would be blocking email from vbulletin.com.
Any suggestions of where to look?
Right now I'm going through my /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog file with vi doing /variable. to look for instances of their emails coming in and bouncing but no luck yet.

Also, e-mail sucks. This is why we switched to using Gmail for domains.
I did the basic "grep -i vbulletin /usr/local/psa/...." a few minutes after writing the above post. Still no hits in the log files. I've got the terminal open and every five minutes I run the commands again.
Funny thing about Grep is that I wrote a short grep clone a few years back thinking I was being very creative... Until I spoke with one of my friends who used to run the network at the local private school. He explained that I had just written grep.
All I can think of is that there is a DNS problem somewhere and later this week I'm going to get pounded with hundreds of emails from them.
