Can I just check.
We know that email hasn't been working from the site for a month now. I think I may have just got a temporary fix in. Could you let me know if you have received an email from the forum or main site since this morning?
Once it is confirmed I can enable registration on the main site and continue getting the permanent fix in place.
Thanks
I've just amended a York review on a pub that I'm following. Let's see what happens.
Works for me, got a message at 11:55 bang on time
Yep, Same here 11:55 email. Looks like a winner Conrad. :notworthy:Quote:

Great stuff:had an email alert-the first since Feb 2012!
Ummmmm, it has only been broken a month. I think the rest must have been finding their way to your spam filter.
You are probably right:I am digitally illiterate!Quote:

Some email servers as soon as they receive an email hold it, and then try and instantly send a response back to the sender.
The senders server will then either reply with ok I am here what is your message - to which the receivers server goes, actually don't worry about it, then delivers the mail to the receivers box.
Or the senders server says, I don't know anyone of that name - to which the receivers server goes, ah well I have taken this mail and can't hand it back so I will just throw it away.
You may guess from my tone that the second one is not really keeping with the way that email is designed to be used and so we don't really make any concession for it. So I am guessing that was your issue Nick (or something similar) - but we have done that for a long time and haven't changed anything functionally in the way the email is sent (it is just being relayed through a secondary server now), so it is likely to either be a blacklisting or spam issue with Wittenden not receiving it for a year now.
Well I've changed my e-mail address back to the one registered twelve months ago and hey presto it's working again.
Got a report e-mail just a few minutes ago (first for a while). In all honesty, though, I hadn't missed the e-mails - I just thought that you'd abandoned that feature. Is there an option to turn them off? I'll take a look, but if I report something, I know it's going to happen - don't really need the confirmation.
If you look at the Forum Actions tab and click on General Settings, there's a tick box for "Receive Email from Adminstrators"Quote:

I've had a couple of e-mails so all appears hunky dory.
Same here i got my first e mail last night, cheers
Ohh, I thought it had been a good while (6 months?) since I'd had some of these!
Coming through loud and clear.
Not had an e-mail since 12th of December.
I had a check back to verify my 6 month quote above and unfortunately I must have deleted them all a while back when I was having a spring clean of emails. Perhaps 6 months was an overestimate...?Quote:
