Not Receiving PM Notifications

Unread post by Hawke »

Like the title says.

It is enabled, and I got the notifications on the old boards, but not here. I hate getting messages and not be able to respond promptly.

I tried to disable and enable, but nothing.

Thanks for posting.
This is indeed a known issue, and as far as I know now, an issue with our current hoster. They seem notorious for having bad support for mailing, which could mean as much as that they're blocking the mails because it contains a link. From their point of view: It's to prevent spamming.
From our point of view: it sucks.

We've been trying different methods of solving this, but none seem to work this far.

I'll call them again sometime this week about this issue, and hope to be able to solve it with them then. I can't make promises when though. I'll post an update here when it's done (though you'll notice getting e-mails soon enough anyway, when it works).

It might be from the way things were cloned.

Good luck with that :D You have my full support :D

It's due to the new host. They don't like email ;-)

Thanks! I'm sure I'll get it fixed.

Small update on the matter. I've called with the hoster, but they're holding back the emails because they think it looks like spam.

He told me that the subject of the mail looks like spam and I should change the subject of the mails.
I've tried, but no luck so far.

When it works, I'll let you know. If it works and you find out before me, please let me know! :D

Those who use email notifications to keep up on PMs or certain threads and forums, please let us know here if Zanniej's fix is working (or not working) for you!
