No email notification for new posts?

Post by Mats » Mon Aug 16, 2010 5:22 pm

I don't get any emails, and I don't know why.

I started this thread, but no emails so far... viewtopic.php?t=59813

The settings seems fine.

What can I do?

Probably not. I used to get emails all the time, but haven't seen one for weeks lately.

No, Mats, you're not alone: I also can't receive any notify, I suspect it could be even MX related, as it seems to me other people still receive them.

I've written to the site admin via email, mr. Richard Grams, but he's never answered to me.
I've asked MikeC via PM to let me in touch with him, he's also never answered to me.

I've now disabled the relative settings: I'll re-enable notifies later, in order to see if this sort of "reset" may work.

MikeC, might you take care of us, please? It would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Luca

It appears that some email servers are balking at the origin of the admin emails -- we've made changes to our email service, with changes in MX records.... Bottom line is that there's little question that many (if not all) hotmail users are affected. And probably some comcast users too.

This could take a while for us to sort out as there does not appear to be any workaround atm. Meanwhile, you could probably change your email addresses to another service to have your spcr notifications work again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, Mike, I know I've been missing emails lately and wasn't sure what was up. Just normal mail server stupidity, apparently. :? (I've got that issue with mails sent from my home mail server, presumably because it's a dynamic IP so I guess while DNS resolution works reverse DNS doesn't and so the mail host balks.)

Unfortunately it still doesn't work for me (moreover the new forum's look is far worse than the older one, and I can't see any message of the 13rd october and maybe some of the 12nd too).

Since several days I'm not receiving anymore any notifications for any subscribed threads.

What's up?
