Fast Running Blog

I have the email notification on blog comment checked in my blog options, but for some reason I am not receiving any email notifications.  I have verified that my email address is entered correctly, have unchecked and saved my settings, then gone back in and checked the box and saved my settings.  All to no avail.  I asked Lybi (my wife) if she received email notifications, and she told me she does.

I had this problem when I was using my comcast email address and I messed with my security settings in comcast and never could get it to work. I switched to a different email address through a different IP and it works fine now. I still wish it would work with comcast, though.

hmmm - I wonder if there is some junk email setting with my cox account that I messed with.  I will check that out.

this is happening to me as well. ever since sunday - no email notifications. ???

I did actually get a notification the other day - without having made any changes to my cox account.

looks like mine is working again as well.  ;D

My email notification is not working now either (not even getting caught in my spam file, just don't seem to be getting notifications).

My notifications were working fine, but now I haven't gotten any since last Friday.

I have moved the server. So the new IP address could be triggering spam filters that were not getting triggered before.

Sasha, I have checked the spam filter and don't see anything that would block the email (on my approved recipients list) nor is it in my spam folder.   Any thoughts?

Talk to your mail server admin. See if he has anything in the server configuration that would trigger a ban on e-mails from 69.169.154.6.

i had this problem once before, but it seemed to correct itself. but it is no longer working again. i haven't been receiving e-mail notifications since saturday. suggestions on how to fix?

The problem is on your mail host end - it thinks the messages are spam. Tinker with your spam rules, tell it blackhole@fastrunningblog.com is a good sender.

Sasha- do the laws of physics allow email to come out of a black hole?   ;)

fixed. thanks.

I was getting email notification and I would have to say about a week or so ago I stopped getting them. I checked my spam box and they aren't in there and the email address is not part of my blocked list. What am I missing?

Yahoo e-mail might be blocking our notifications before they even reach any of your mailboxes. Not much we could do except play around with e-mail headers, but then it is a shot in the dark. If somebody knows enough about Yahoo/Hotmail spam filters and sees a red flag in the notification format, feel free to share.

WEll that stinks only b/c I was getting the notiifications. Maybe if I change my email address to my school address? I will see if that works until we have a yahoo solution
