Help  Mail notification broken?
Hi
Does the mail notification still work?
I just checked a thread that should have notified me via mail of a new post but not even the spam filter had a mail in it.
And it's not only that, I reported a game some days ago I also didn't receive an mail.
Cheers

RE: Mail notification broken?
I am receiving game report emails fine, for the ladders I oversee. Per those emails, the players are also on the To line and should have them. For your missing game report, I suggest contacting the ladder custodian for the game reported and see if he got anything, but I believe that is working fine.

I subscribed to this thread before posting, with immediate email notifications, and will see if I get an email. I don't normally subscribe so I a not sure how well that works.

So the forum messaging may be broken as I haven't seen anything yet. I did get a game report for a result I just reported, after the previous post, so I am leaning toward the forum side not working. I will post it for our Webmaster to look at, thanks!

This appears to be a known issue, but nothing has been done about it in the year since it was first found. I don't expect it to be fixed any time soon, sorry.

RE: Mail notification broken?
Okay, I did get an email about your reply. So thinking about it, it makes complete sense that I wouldn't get a message about a post that I made, although I could see it still happening. Reply again and I will see if I get a message.

Unfortunately, everything I have broken in my life worked perfectly until it broke :-).

RE: Mail notification broken?
Well if you get mails but I don't I wonder if the problem could also be on my side.
I have another forum that has a notification problem and there not all user are affected as it seems to hit just certain mail providers.
Could my provider(GMX) be the problem?

RE: Mail notification broken?
I got a message on this reply also, so that is 2 for 2 for posts I didn't make.

It may be that there is a filter blocking Blitz emails to your provider, or some other issue? Especially if it is game results also. You could try contacting your provider, it may be a lot of work to resolve anything.

Well helpful would be if an admin could manually send mails using the addresses used by the Blitz and checks if they bump back or get any other responds.
If they go out they must end up somewhere.

RE: Mail notification broken?
The forum & site notification email definitely works.

But i got this in the mail logs for BigDuke's email address: 550-Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable 550 invalid DNS MX or A/AAAA resource record (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

Might be a gmx related issue ( https://www.heinlein-support.de/blog/mai...aa-record/ ), but i tried (and hopefully succeed) to add those DNS AAAA records it needs, so please report if you get any emails in the next couple of days.
Send this user an email
