Something that should be mentioned in the instructions for setting up an email gateway. On the rig settings QSO tab, be sure the "Allow parking" box is checked. Mine was un-checked and I got the following data stream message when someone tried to send an email through my gateway: "BLOCKING INCOMING VMAIL FOR VARACWEDNESDAY@GMAIL.COM,N5YYF@DUCK.COM : 3RD PARTY PARKING IS DISABLED."
I assume it was because the "Allow parking" check box was un-checked. It is checked now, but I have not had an email gateway attempt since to verify that it is working now.
Thanks for the heads up.
I changed it that enabling GW will now also enable the parking VMails and will show a message about that ot the user.
great catch!

Glad to see your post. Just for grins, I like to try different gateways to check in each week. I wondered why your station rejected my email - and now I know. Thanks for sharing the information. ( I found another station that liked me better!! 😁)
