I stopped receiving E-Mail Notifications of PM's a few weeks ago, I noticed it when F$ was PM'ing me about buying a 7970 of mine. I only see if I have PM's now by coming to the Forum, I checked my settings & everything looks okay & I should be receiving e-mails about PM's but I'm not ... ???
You're right. Same symptoms here.

This is odd. I checked both of your permission in the Admin area, and everything seems to be set up properly...
I did change one setting regarding email, which has an outside shot at fixing the issue. I sent both of you a PM to test this out. Please let me know if you received an email notification of the PM.
Maybe there was a glitch somewhere, I noticed I didn't get a couple as well. But then I just got one last night, so maybe it's working again?
Traded a few pm's with maxwell. Turns out i was getting all the emails but they were getting caught in spam. I bet that's the case with ste\/e as well. The question would be: what changed to make the mail servers upstream flag this as spam.Quote:

A fix would be to use an external relay if one is available.

Yep, I just found the same thing. All my notices in my spam folder.
I wonder if we got added to a blacklist or something.
All emails should be getting relayed via gmail (the team.seti.usa account)
Hmmmm. Let me take a look at the headers and see if it's a spf failure. Gmail is usually well trusted.Quote:

is team.seti.usa@gmail.com the actual account that is being used and authenticated against when an e-mail is sent out of vbulletin? This could trigger a spam filter. I see a different e-mail address used as the source below. (in red)Code:Return-path: <team.seti.usa@gmail.com>
Return-path: <team.seti.usa@gmail.com>

I don't see a SPF record existing for the domain. This would tell relayers that Google's servers are authorized to send e-mail from www.setiusa.us. openspf.org has good instructions on how to do this. I can help with this
Is the freedc.bok@gmail.com address what's being used to authenticate to Gmail? This could cause problems as well.Code:To: jthet@verizon.net

I can definitely help with a few nuts & bolts on this. It will require access to whomever hosts the dns records (most likely easydns from what my dig commands are telling me). We are on a few blacklists as well. http://mail-blacklist-checker.online-domain-tools.com.
FWIW, I am getting email notifications again.
Not sure why my email address is being used there, I'll take a look at the settings tomorrow. I know I'm there as the owner so maybe it's that. I have th easydns account for it, though it's a relay given they don't host .us accounts. Be happy to be get you on that to take a look.
I started to get a few PM Notices by e-mail but now I'm not again ...
