Notification and Personal Message Emails Not Being Received

[Carl]

Aye. The issues were just tied. I tried to fix the email verification and it leads to this notification issue, so these folks who use that email provider are left in the dust until Hotmail unblocks us. Hope I don't have to ask for folks to complain to them as to why we can't send them verification or notifications Hotmail should get back with me tomorrow.

I use G-Mail, myself...but I've only missed two e-mail notifications.  I found one of them later in my spam folder...and oddly enough I got another one on the same day and it didn't go to spam.  I did tell the spam filter that it wasn't spam, but it still leaves one that I didn't see.  It's not really a huge problem on my end...it was just weird lol.

Wait... Carl, by live and hotmail, do you mean windows live have you on their block list??? If so...

I received a couple of PM notices, and I'm on Windows Live. They were dated 16th of March, so... roughly 2 days before this topic was started. (I'm several hours ahead of forum time. And by several, I mean I'm going to bed when you're waking up.)

Hope this helps.

EDIT: I checked the email address. It's from gmail.
EDIT 2: I also don't have any settings for the forum. Nothing should be causing anything from here to be blocked.

Hotmail users, perhaps you can help me. If you tell the forum to notify you of something and get it at a hotmail, msn or live account and it is filtered as junk, please be sure to pick 'not junk'. We have been unblocked from their system but my test registration just went to my junk mail folder. Perhaps with enough people telling them it's not spam their system will figure it out.

I'm really happy it looks like people can register through those addresses at last. My application to be unblocked was accepted! The email I received says it will take 24-48 hours for it to be fully implemented.

It makes me wonder what kind of sites this forum shares server space with if they feel the need to block the entire thing.

[Carl]

Sadly I'm the only one who owns the IP. Yeah, I pay for the premium for this site. Their system blocked us because of some some jerk spamming us with hotmail accounts to spam us. Sucks.

You're a sharp guy Hosfac.

[Hosfac]

Their system blocked us because of some some jerk spamming us with hotmail accounts to spam us. Sucks.

That's somewhat ironic. 

[Carl]

And frustrating I assure you.

This may now be irrelevant, but it may help somebody if their hotmail account still does not recieve emails. I added '@carlsforums.com' to my safe senders list. After I did this, I could recieve my verification email and have recieved all emails perfectly since.

[Carl]

Thanks for that! It'd be @carlsguides.com but that should take care of it for sure. Good idea.

Glad I could help.

Thanks for that! It'd be @carlsguides.com but that should take care of it for sure. Good idea.

I just checked, and that is what I orginally marked as safe-just got it wrong on the post (I must have been looking at the web adress).
