Not getting email notification

**Cincy_Ron** · 05-22-2009, 03:53 PM

Not sure why. I've got the correct email address set up and I've turned off spam filtering on my isp end. I've got it all set up in my User CP for instant email for subscribed threads, and my thread subscriptions show instant email. Nada... Any mods around or suggestions?

Thanks!

Is anyone getting email notification from this site?

I could not get them with my usual email address. I changed to an email address that I have with a GoDaddy account and it works. I am able to receive notifications now.

Trouble was something to do with my ISP's mail server. I think anyway.

You may need to try a different email account. Might try one of the free web based ones.

I was able to get e-mail notifications on my yahoo account at one time, but now I have to use a gmail account. I was never able to get them on my real account.

I'll try switching it to a gmail account and see if that works. Thanks guys.

I get them on Hotmail (via windows live mail) all the time.

Well, it looks like it's a problem with my ISP. Notifications to my gmail account are coming through fine. Emails are coming through from forum_mail@homebrewtalk.com so now that I know that, I'm going to see if I can add that email to an "allow" list or something in the settings section of my service provider.

I'm not getting email notifications either. I'm a new user, so I've never had any other email address set up in the HBT forums.

I'm not getting update notifications on subscribed threads, and I didn't get any sort of welcome email when I signed up (most forums send out some sort of welcome email -- I'm assuming HBT might as well).

I host my own email and don't use any filters that might be blocking anything server-side, so I know it's not a problem with my email server/ISP.

Have any HBT admins double-checked the SMTP server config and routing since people started posting about the email notifications? I think those of us who are experiencing this problem would REALLY appreciate it.

not getting them either. I am a member of other forums and I get their email notifications just fine, same address. What gives?

Just check my setting and i am NOT blocking ANY emails from anybody. I figured that by all the crap I get. Problem must be with the sender's server and or settings. Please do fix it.
