And, according to the logs, the mail system is working now! Yoohhooo!!!! Not sure where the messages are going next (Inbo or SPAM), but the IP address of the server is not in the most used black lists. (Only my provider blocks the address šŸ˜†). Now even likera⚧liikera.com works (and forwards to likera.com⚧gmail.com, thanks to Cloudflare and their DKIM/SPF DNS records!)

Just in case, to confirm... Those, who received automatic mails from the forum, could you please tell me who is in the "From:" field?

COOOOOL! (And with the correct "sender"!!!) .... Took me years to fix ...
- The forum is upgraded to the latest 1.8.41
- Another attempt to fix Yahoo mail (possibly related to IPv6?)
- New libraries
- reboot
- New kernel
- New PHP
- Fixed mycode (forgot to check it after the forum upgrade ...)
- Reapplied SEO names core file changes (... same ... forgot to check ... pffff .... )
- reboot

Yahoo still refuses to accept mail from likera.com:

relay=mta5.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.204.77]:25, delay=0.15, delays=0.06/0.01/0.07/0.01, dsn=5.7.25, status=bounced (host mta5.am0.yahoodns.net[67.195.204.77] said: 550 5.7.25 Forward-confirmed reverse DNS failed tnmpmscs (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

And the reason is - Cloudflare DNS proxying. Cloudflare returns a different (from the real one) IP-address for likera.com. But the connections to Yahoo are coming from the real IP.

Tweaking DNS and postfix again ...

Edit: with Gemini's help reconfigured postfix and a bunch of DNS settings on a bunch of DNS providers. Now, let's wait until someone registers or forgets his password 😬

Looks like some mail providers block Linode/Akamai IP-address ranges šŸ˜•

For example, outlook.com, hotmail.com, xs4all.nl, kpn.com.

Well that's odd!

Accidently double-clicked the 'Like' and look what happened!

Glitch? Bug? Defect? or New Feature? (which in my experience is coder speak for 'we never tested that'  😁 )

The behaviour used to be that if you'd 'liked' a post then clicked it again that removed the 'like'.Ā

Looks like a very rare race condition. E.g. the browser/connection is slow, and the page is not yet updated after the first click.
What browser are you using? Is it repeatable?
Whatever I tried, I could not "produce" two thanks šŸ˜„

I can't reproduce it now either - most strange.

I'm using MS EdgeĀ  Version 154.0.4258.53 (Official build) (64-bit) - don't shoot me! I like my earth to be flat and boring!Ā  LolĀ 

I shall keep an eye open for it happening again
