E-mail notifications

For some reason I stopped receiving these ages back, for the most part I was glad because they just clogged my inbox. Now I've changed my address from my hotmail account to my Yahoo account I've started getting them again. I know Mr E is on wind down now , but can anyone give me an idea of why this was happening? Oh and they weren't going into Junk Mail either.

It is possible that the exeweb IP address has made its way onto an IP Blacklist, i've checked on these four sites :

• http://mxtoolbox.com
• http://whatismyipaddress.com
• http://www.spamhaus.org
• http://www.find-ip-address.org

but can't find it listed, but I don't know what blacklists hotmail would use.

Oh, and its common for email providers to reject email from blacklisted IP addresses.

could be something like that. I'd imagine that at the time it disappeared I was spending a lot of time on here (college assignment or something) so got a lot of e-mails. The same thing happened to another VB forum I use

What were these emails notifying you of?

That people had replied to threads what I'd written on. I didn't much care for them (the user Cp does the same thing) but just wondered why they had disappeared and now returned.

You can turn them off in your user cp easily enough. Maybe you've changed it by accident? Or maybe your Hotmail inbox was full or they went to your junk folder.
Change your spam settings on Yahoo and that should sort it if you don;t want to turn them off on here.

I definately didn't change it and I don't have enough friends to fill an inbox I don't really mind either way, was just curious why they stopped working on Hotmail at some point.

This is an effort to combat spam postings. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Hotmail/Live junks lots of mail. Every website I've ever worked on which has sent out legitimate email (receipts, registration confirmations etc) we've had to jump through hoops to make sure Hotmail users receive their emails. We've not done anything like that for exeweb though, that I'm aware of, so it probably sends exeweb's emails straight to the spam folders.

I don't use Hotmail, but presumably you can add exeweb's email address as a contact, or a trusted sender, or something like that to ensure the emails don't get junked?

Nice job you have there, Mr MxToolBox. Good luck finding football fans who are also into MX records management.
