Missing E-Mail
Our web hosting company e-mails usan order confirmation whenever an order isplaced on our website. About once a day, one of these order confirmation e-mails is not received.Our web hosting company insists the e-mail was sent. They have even sent us thier mail log to prove it. However, our own mail log shows no trace of the e-mail. Our firewall log shows no SMTP communications with their mail server. And, message tracking using the message ID returns nothing.
What could possibly be going on?
Here'stheir log. I've highlighted the missing e-mail.
