Email notification of PMs not working

Post by mart3p »

I was receiving email notification of received private messages. For the last few weeks this doesn't seem to be working.

I checked my account settings and everything appears to be ok there (email address is correct, check-box for notification is selected).

I had that for a time, but the spam filter was blocking them, so you might want to check your spam folder.

No, they're not in the spam folder.

I wonder if this is anything to do with what I recently posted in the random thread?

The two messages I received today I was notified of by e-mail. Sometimes e-mail may for one reason or another simply be slow. Maybe they just didn't arrive yet or are being temporarily blocked / delayed by some gray-listing on the side of your e-mail server / provider?

So it seems it's just me. :(

I checked the dates of my most recently received PMs. These are 31st Jan, 1st Feb, 3rd Feb and 3rd March. I have not received email notification for any of these. Even if there is some delay in receiving notifications I think these would have arrived by now. :wink:

They are certainly not in my spam folder. My email account is provided by my ISP, Virgin Media. I will contact them to see if any spam filtering occurs at their end.

It's fixed. :D Vigin Media's spam filter was blocking zernebok.com.

I suspect it might be for everyone. The reason given was (paraphrasing) "zernebok.com is a known source of spam".

Something's wrong with zernebok...

Or their classification.
