I have all five search engines enabled on one site. Running an up-to-date version of xmlsitemap at present.

Following are the errors I find today:

Message	Submitted the sitemap to http://api.moreover.com/ping?u=http://www.some-domain.com/sitemap.xml and received response 404.
Message	Submitted the sitemap to http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http://www.some-domain.com/sitemap.xml and received response 404.
Message	Submitted the sitemap to http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=http://www.some-domain.com/sitemap.xml and received response 403.

Now Yahoo can be a pest on and off, so that I do not mind so much.

The other two, perhaps they changed the URL one is suppose to submit to. However if they did, since it is now hard coded into the module I need to wait for an update to come from the mod maintainers.

This is now the second thing I wish would have not been eliminated from this module. (sigh)

Rather than complain about it, you can easily disable the search engine checkbox, and then enter the path manually in the 'Custom submission URLs' textarea.

It looks like the ask.com URL is working now. I can't find docs on if the moreover URL was changed or removed.

@#1 Thank you Dave for pointing out that capability. I was thinking I must hack the module to correct it. fffeeewww!!!

@#2 ask.com 404's from here and where ever 1&1's data center connects to the Internet.

I believe Moreover was a MSN thing, and that entire mess has changed names a few times (MSN, Bing, Live, EIEIO!!!), so that might be history now.

Yeah I was getting 404s for ask.com for a bit, then it just started working. I'm going to remove moreover support.
