| | Some one or some thing is sending out emails to the cpanel users of trap17.com stating that their account is suspended. The email looks legit, however your hosting credits and site are all ok. If you are having this problem please reply and state the situation.
(please do not reply if your hosting credits are not positive)
Thanks

A quote from the email i received some hours ago: QUOTE Hello Amezis,
We are sorry to inform you that, your web hosting account at has been suspended due to your prolonged inactivity or Lack of Hosting credits. We had dispatched a warning email to all the members so that they could check their hosting credits.
[...]
If you want to un-suspend your hosting account, you will have to make posts at our forums and collect the required number of hosting credits. Once you have sufficient amount of credits, your account will be un-suspended automatically.
[...]
Then, I firstly checked my site. It was working well... Then I checked my hosting credits: 15.12 days... So... What's happening? If I'm breaking the TOS or something like that, please say it to me... But I don't think I'm doing that

Well, I received a certain e-mail from "Management <administrator>", and I forwarded it to Trap 17 abuse email. Here are full headers from that e-mail... CODE X-Apparently-To: =my_email=@yahoo.com via 216.155.196.65; Thu, 17 Mar 2005 00:05:54 -0800 Authentication-Results: mta140.mail.dcn.yahoo.com from=; domainkeys=neutral (no sig) X-Originating-IP: [69.50.187.114] Return-Path: <trap17@dasher.psychz.net> Received: from 69.50.187.114 (EHLO dasher.psychz.net) (69.50.187.114) by mta140.mail.dcn.yahoo.com with SMTP; Thu, 17 Mar 2005 00:05:38 -0800 Received: from trap17 by dasher.psychz.net with local (Exim 4.44) id 1DBpvF-0001LX-DW; Thu, 17 Mar 2005 00:00:01 -0800 To: =my_email=@yahoo.com Subject: : HOSTING ACCOUNT SUSPENDED. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 To:=my_email=@yahoo.com From: Management <administrator@> Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 00:00:01 -0800 X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - dasher.psychz.net X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - yahoo.com X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [32257 32258] / [47 12] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - dasher.psychz.net X-Source: X-Source-Args: X-Source-Dir: Content-Length: 849 Now, I dont think that Trap 17 admins have administrator@ email... Nor that they would send account suspension notices from administrators e-mail... I could be wrong though... However, trap17@dasher.psychz.net is definitely a suspicious e-mail address, for someone like Trap 17 to use  I mean, they provide web hosting, paid AND free, would they use some weird mail server, or just use something@trap17.com? Hope they catch this lamer

QUOTE(BuffaloHELP @ Sep 12 2005, 08:33 PM) When 69.50.188.18 fails, it will switch over to 69.50.188.19 and that is when psychz.net will be notified and send back the appropriate message. ...because 69.50.188.19 belongs to ns2.psychz.net. The email is originated from that site and since many of you have "catch all" as your setting in cPanel's email setting, you are receiving a message directed towards, i.e. anyone@yoursite.com. Since you do not host with psychz.net, they are sending you their version of error message. Using the correct nameserver for TRAP17 will correct this matter. I'm not sure if you read my post but read it again. And I don't believe it's a marketing tactic from one of the competitors but a simply an error on some of our member's DNS setting. Or it could be that the IP used for ns1.trap17.com is a shared nameserver that hosts other nameservers. Nevertheless, it seems like this issue has been resolved. ----- Until another message like this is received, this topic is closed -----

This topic was brought to my attention for being an old one. But I think I might know why emails were originated from psychz.net and to most TRAP17 users. I was replying to one of our nameserver IP topic and noticed that some (few or less) members might be using IP address to enter as the namesever under their DNS control. And mistakenly ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com IP's are circulating as 69.50.188.18 and 69.50.188.19. This is incorrect check here to verify. The IP address of 69.50.188.19 belongs to ns2.psychz.net. If you have entered IP address as TRAP17 nameserver please do not use the second IP address. TRAP17's nameservers are: ns1.trap17.com ns2.trap17.com And if you HAVE to use IP addresses, the correct IPs are: 64.5.44.113 209.152.167.59 Some have made a comment that using 69.50.188.18 and 69.50.188.19 works just fine. It's because the first nameserver (69.50.188.18) is resolving to your hosing account. When 69.50.188.18 fails, it will switch over to 69.50.188.19 and that is when psychz.net will be notified and send back the appropriate message.

Reason Why Accounts Got Mysteriously Suspended

shifted this forum to a new server with a FASTER Board and processor. The old server had its CRON
service active and services were still running on it. The old EPSILON server never got any NEW POSTS
