Title: Not getting email notifications for messages
Post by: Khare on 07 March 2011, 14:28
As title, I'm not getting email notifications for private messages. I used to though  :undecided:

Had a look around in the account settings and I couldn't see anything  :sad:

In the "Personal Messages Options" there is a tick box which enables this feature.

I use hotmail too. Must be a hotmail/site problem then rather than just me.

Come on chaps, we all know my pop up notification method is much better than an email notification.

I'm awesome.

I've been getting them.  Last PM I had was 2 days ago and got a notification for all the PM's on that day.

Guess you lot aren't in the PM email notification circle.


Just received another Email notification of a new PM  :cool:

Aren't I a lucky boy?

Are all you lot that are not receiving email using Hotmail?

Seems Hotmail have been having issues of late, loads of reports from Hotmail users saying they're not receiving emails and looking into someone using Hotmail not receiving emails from a customer of ours... the only common denominator seems to be Hotmail so far...  :undecided:

Post by: Wayne on 09 March 2011, 17:22

Problem found. Well, problems found.

Firstly:

SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<mail@golfgtiforum.co.uk> SIZE=3379:
    host mx1.hotmail.com [65.54.188.126]: 550 SC-001 Unfortunately, messages from 70.38.11.38 weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list.

Forum on Hotmail junk email block list.

Secondly:

All the bounce messages filled up the forum mail account. Just clearing that, along with all the email in there from people replying to pm notifications, even though it says "IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email".

You're not on the main blacklists, which is always a good thing:
http://www.mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx:golfgtiforum.co.uk

However Golfgti.co.uk is on BackScatterer, you may want to bring that up with that hosting provider, too.

Nice toolz. Second item is odd as that doesn't send out forum mail at all! Then again, it is only 1 on that great list.

I thought I'd just check that domain too, being a nosey bugger 'n all. It'll only effect you if an ISP who receives an email from you, subscribes to that list. You'll be removed after 28 March anyway.
Title: Hotmail users - Not getting email notifications for messages
Post by: jv on 10 March 2011, 10:50
Ticket opened with msn/hotmail.

All email from this forum to hotmail accounts is currently being blocked - as a hotmail user you won't receive pm notifications, password reset details etc until this is resolved.

Does this mean that we'll get about 50,000 when the problem is resolved?
