I haven't received any email notifications from the boards today. I verified that my address is still correct in my profile, that the board still shows me as subscribed to the topics, that the topics have received replies, and that nothing is caught in my spam folder. Anyone else seeing this?

by **Smoove_B** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 3:29 pm

They might be. I had a number of PM sent and received yesterday (5+) and not a single one fired off a notification. I have noticed sometimes there are delays of a few hours, but this is the first time I've never been notified.

by **Zaxxon** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 3:49 pm

Yeah, I've seen delays of a few minutes to an hour or so on these, but the last I received was many hours ago at this point.

by **GreenGoo** » Sat Jun 12, 2010 1:34 pm

Definitely had a few with no notification recently.

Let me go kick something.

by **FishPants** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 10:30 am

Ok it's been kicked.

by **Rip** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 11:44 am

Ummmm, smells like something stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

by **Zaxxon** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:38 pm

Still no notifications here since my initial post.

by **Zaxxon** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 4:27 pm

After the latest rejiggling of the conectificators, I've gotten a few notifications. Knocking on wood-like substances in hopes that things are workin' again.

Would you go down on him if he did?

Nah, just start spouting SQL errors :mrgreen:

Can't be encouraging bad behavior, ya know?

Just a note that notifications seem to be off again for me. I haven't gotten any in several days, for old threads or new. Checked my spam folder, as well.

by **Zaxxon** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 11:55 am

Am I the only one experiencing this? 0 notifications since July 6th. Verified my address is still correct on my account and that I am watching bunches of threads.

by **Grundbegriff** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 1:58 pm

I'm also receiving no notifications for threads I'm watching.

by **Rip** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 10:10 pm

I will try to make some time to check it out this weekend, I think all the tech staff has been as swamped as me recently. Thankfully we haven't been seeing to many issues.

Not to be a pest, but has anyone had time to take a look at this? It's a fairly massive issue for some people (ok, for me) and has been going on for several weeks now.

by **FishPants** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 3:44 pm

No I haven't had time sorry. Life is too busy, and it's low on my list at the moment. May have time tonight or this weekend to poke around and see what's going on.

by **FishPants** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 3:49 pm

Ok I lied, I took a quick peek and it seemed the mail daemon wasn't running.. Someone please test and make sure I started the right daemon (Postfix or Sendmail.. I can't remember which we are using) and let me know if that's fixed (and I will fix the startup scripts to make sure it's running).

by **LordMortis** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 4:10 pm

Got my first notification in long time.

by **Zaxxon** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 6:30 pm

Still none here, but I'll keep an eye out. Thanks, FP!

by **Grundbegriff** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 8:25 pm

Thanks. That makes it easier to manage the werewolf games.

by **Zaxxon** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 9:00 pm

Just got my first notification.

by **FishPants** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 10:09 am

Ok not sure why that daemon wasn't configured to start at boot, now that I know I have the right one -- I have modified the scripts to allow it to start at boot time.

Email notifications seem to be down again.

Sent from my mobile device.

by **Zaxxon** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 12:21 pm

Seems like mail notifications are down again.

by **Zarathud** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 10:21 pm

Yes, they are.

What an unfortunate time to try to change my e-mail registration, but it's fixed now.

by **FishPants** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:42 am

Sorry I forgot to post that I kicked the service.. When I've got some time I'm moving our home to a new provider, I've done what I can with these guys to get us on reliable hardware and it seems every time I think I have it sorted out, something else goes wrong.

by **D.A.Lewis** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 2:14 pm

I haven't rec'd an Email notification in months, am I to assume that the service is still "KICKED"??????????

Working fine for me.

Count me among the folks not getting e-mails for subscriptions. I just checked two of my subscriptions and have not received any notification for them.

I received an email notification for your post in this thread. :horse:

All still seems fine for me.

by **Rip** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 2:50 pm

I asked FP to take a look. It is probably something filtering them as SPAM or the like.

by **hentzau** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 3:58 pm

I'll try changing my e-mail address, see if that does anything.

But they aren't in my junk e-mail box, so I'm not sure it's something on my end.

by **FishPants** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 8:48 pm

What's the domain name(s) that aren't receiving emails? I don't mean full addresses, just @whatever.com would suffice.

by **FishPants** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 10:04 am

I think I may have found the issue.. Waiting to speak to ILB and then I'm gonna muck with some stuff.

Ok gang, I had borked the setup of the MX records and it should be OK now. The MXtools are properly reporting the entry -- can you confirm if it's working now for those of you where it was broken?

Also one obscure DNS blacklist had our IP address in it (as part of a huge network block). I've sent in the request to have that removed, but I doubt the mail servers were using this BL (I don't know any admin in their right mind that uses a blacklist that blocks /24 chunks). I'm pretty sure it's because the DNS zone file wasn't doing the proper MX lookup on the root domain, which is fixed now.

Let me know!
