  This happens often with clients that talk to DynDNS.  SO many are broken
it isn't even funny, and for automated 'this is my IP'  informative
messages, depending on the client, they'll actually block and  ignore the
informative message simply becouse the clients spam MUCH faster then they
should.  A manual update will often work, as it's a different message.
