Title: Resolved - Not getting DLA emails
Post by: lightsonlinden on January 09, 2015,
I am not getting any instant emails for PMs or the Boards have asked to be notified upon.

Any help or guidance would be great!  Thanks~

I've already checked my spam folder for my email provider and dont see any email from DLA.  I even tried an entirely different email account and that didnt work either.

Resolved by switching to a Gmail account.

It might be relate to the fact the site recently moved and some dns might not be updated yet.

also look for jordanra@embarqmail.com as the sender.

Do my settings appear to be correct?

I joined before the site moved and had set up a notify on boards and even then didnt get any emails.

For example I subscribed to this post and when you replied I didnt get a notification.

I don't see any issues with your settings.

For a test, can you setup a gmail email account and change your profile email to that new address?

After you make a change do a test post to see if it works.

moving to Gmail it worked.   Now I am going to try forwarding to my regular ISP.

My notifications aren't working either. Well, I turned on notifications for the first time in late December as  a test and got one. But it would seem that since the forum moved to a new server, they stopped. I've had problems in the past with Craigslist messages not appearing when using Hotmail--not even in Spam--and changing to my Gmail account worked fine.

So, I tried changing my email address on this forum to my Gmail, but I'm still not getting any notifications. I assume I don't need to turn on the "Allow users to email me" option?

Add me to the list and I tried a bunch of things already to fix it.  In the past, server changes affected my email but it only took a few days and it worked it self out.  I won't worry for now.

I just don't want to miss out on any co-ops!

If you don't want to miss the coop's then stay active on the site.

I am being active on the site, but I'd like an extra safety net.

No notifications here either.  Been that way for some time now.  Also can't get to this site via TapaTalk either.  Can't connect to server.  That has been going on for a few days now I think.

I have turned all my notifications off except for new threads in the coop section.  I don't need an email everytime someone replies they like a video.  I only bring this up because in the user profile there is a section that allows you to turn off/on different notifications.  So it may be a forum issue or it may be something in your user profile is set wrong (maybe by the forum upgrade) who knows.

I remember browsing here frequently to look for coops or posts before I had a smart phone.  I missed a LE coop that filled up in like an hour or 2 and I was like, how is everybody finding out so fast!?  ;D

Here are my settings. What is "moderation"?

Moderation means that if a moderator makes a change or removes a thread you originated.

Gmail is working but now no longer forwarding to my IP host.

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain iw.net by mx.wowway.com.

The error that the other server returned was:
554 5.7.1 [P4] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.

Is there anyway to find out what "spam content" is in DLA messages so this can be fixed for everyone who has similar issues??

I am still having issues and will try to whitelist or add an exception.

The "spam content" may be nothing more than the email origination name.  You may need to contact your provider to see if you have any control over the spam filter attached to your account and if so, either back it off a little or put in an acceptation for email from DLA.  If not, then you need to see if they will allow emails from this site past the filter.  Many providers do this to reduce required bandwidth and reduce storage requirements on their sites.

I have not got email notifications in ages. Nothing changed at my end

Maybe not on your end but the site has moved to different providers a few times over the years.  This can affect and trigger the spam filters that many email providers implement.
