Title: Automated email issues
Post by: TheBoy on 03 May 2007, 16:31:04

Just trying to work out how big this issue is.

The forum often sends out automated emails if you have configured your profile - things like notifications of PMs etc, or watched threads.  It would appear some of these are not getting through.

Yeah, that was a different (but similar) issue with Wanadoo/Freeserve/Orange

Its a never ending job introducing workarounds for all these crap ISPs that implement stupid policies because they don't want to run proper spam filters.

Some ISPs are dropping lots of mails for you, before your filter even gets a look in...
