Overview
MyKerio notification service includes a local email blacklist to temporary suspend sending emails to recipients with a history of bounce messages. The blacklist blocks each invalid email address for 2 weeks. MyKerio removes the email address from the blacklist after 2 weeks from the last bounce messages.
All the My Kerio users might find this article useful if at any time you have a question about how to set up the MyKerio notification service to receive emails.

Troubleshoot issues with receiving emails via MyKerio Notification service in the following ways:

- Identify Problems with Email Addresses in MyKerio
Identify Problems with Email Addresses in the Administration
If you use MyKerio notification service and delivering emails from your appliances doesn't work, you can have an invalid or blocked email address configured in the appliance.
If a blacklisted email address is typed in alerts or statistics reports, consult the Warning log and check your Internet connectivity, traffic rules and so on.
Otherwise, consult the Debug log for more information:
- In the Administration interface, go to Debug log.
- Right-click in the main window.
- In the context menu, click Messages.
- In the Logging Messages dialog box, select MyKerio.
- Click OK.
From now on, the Debug log records all MyKerio activity such as requests, responses, errors.
NOTE: After debugging, de-select MyKerio in the Logging Messages dialog box. Otherwise, the appliance continues to record the MyKerio communication and may slow down the server performance.
Test SMTP Relay Email Addresses
You can test the SMTP relay in the following places:
- Remote Services > SMTP Relay in Kerio Control
- Advanced Options > General in Kerio Operator
If you use blacklisted email address as a test email address and the test fails due to an incorrect email address:
- Kerio Control displays the error dialog box.
- Kerio Operator displays the SMTP server failure notification and logs an error in the Error log.
Following are some examples of Debug log messages:
