Either to subscribed threads or PM's.

I've checked the obvious like my junk mail folders, nothing.

I received a PM this morning and there was a reply to a thread that I am subscribed to that is supposed to "instant"ly send email when there is a reply. Nothing.

In fact, I dont think I've every gotten an email from this board, other than the email verification email.

Anyone else have this issue?

Two things it could be: 1) hotmail addresses don't work. 2) check your settings as to how you are notified, there are options as to how often, what method, and how quickly you want them. Other than that, I wouldn't know why.

As well as Outlook.com.

Thats it, my email is hosted on outlook.com. Any idea why? They don't even get tagged as spam, they must be just dropping the emails entirely? Does the sending email address ever get a NDR?

SERVINT will not work with Hotmail or Outlook.

They must have a block of IP's blacklisted then by outlook/hotmail. Have you tried setting up SPF records for the zhpmafia.com domain? Are the IP addresses used by the mafia's servint hosting account static? If they are static then we can probably set a SPF record and then request that the IP(s) be unblocked.

I'll look into it. Thanks.

THanks, here are a couple links to help out if you are unfamiliar with SPF records and DNS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
http://mxtoolbox.com/spf.aspx

And this wizard will help you create the records:
http://www.spfwizard.net/

The hard part is simply getting the IP address that your domain will send email from (being sarcastic here, its not hard), then just plug that into the wizard and it will spit out the text string you can use to create the TXT record. Then add that TXT record to the zhpmafia.com domain's DNS settings, allow 24 hours for it to propogate throughout the internet, and you're done. Well, at least then we could request outlook to unblacklist zhpmafia.com's IP addresses.

To my surprise, I received an email notification of a PM today to my outlook.com. Not sure what changed, but its welcome

I do get emails on PMs to gmail.

Interesting. Something must have changed with SERVINT. I believe Hotmail is still a no go.

Hmm, I thought hotmail and outlook were essentially the same thing, just different facades.
