Email notifications not working

[Halichoeres]

Yup, I'm getting both mention and message notifications by email again. @dinotoyforum must have worked things out with Gmail, thanks very much!

Good! It wasn't anything I did directly, other than pestering my hosts to change/configure a server setting for me. Seems like they did it. 

Oh, I also changed the forum's admin address to [email protected], but that is just a temporary change (don't email me at that address, it is for automated messages only), though maybe that helped matters.

Both mention and message notifications don't work anymore in my case.
It has been working for years but now it has changed although I haven't changed anything .

For how long have you been experiencing this issue, @postsaurischian ?

On August 23rd I got a PM from a forum member that I just could read when I logged in the DTF a few days later.
That was the first time I realized it. I was hoping it was an exception, but didn't get any notifications since then.

Thanks, I'll investigate...

I was getting email notifications if I'd been tagged in posts.  But that seems to have stopped at some point over the last few weeks.  Any ideas??

I can't say about the position over email notifications of messages received, as I haven't had any messages recently.

Now you mention it, I haven't been getting notifications for either mentions or messages, but it doesn't seem to be a forum problem. Turns out they're going to spam!

I check my spam folder fairly regularly, so that isn't the issue for me.

I keep getting them in spam, even after doing all the not junk and approved list actions. Something about the redirect makes filters unhappy

Ah that's a pity, would have been too easy!

While some email providers flag auto-generated emails as spam, other providers are now overly cautious and block auto-generated emails entirely. I deduced this to be the case for @postsaurischian so maybe this is the case for you as well. You can test this by linking your forum account to a different (non-Yahoo) email address to see if you can receive notifications at all. 

In short, I'm confident the notifications are sending, they're just being blocked for some users and that's unfortunately out of my hands.

Thanks @dinotoyforum.  I will try this.
