wm cheng Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 Hi all, I usually get a lot of email notifications in my mailbox on threads/topics that I've been following or PMs but lately I noticed its radio silence from MacrossWorld. Did something change or a setting that I didn't know about? I checked my email server to make sure it wasn't going into SPAM/Junk mail, but I didn't see anything. I've checked here to make sure I am still following the threads and its still checked off. Has anyone else encountered this? What could be my problem? Thanks.
Bolt Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 I haven't gotten email notifications in a long time. I figured that went away with all the updates .
Big s Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Same here. I just usually find out about things when I check the forums myself and the notifications on here still seem to work, just not the email. It’s ok cause I kinda stopped reading emails anyway
Shawn Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 We've found some of the older posts had email subscriptions for emails that stopped working, so they got stuck in the queue on retry I can bring it back, just figured it would quiet down all our email noise

Our friend @wm cheng is asking if you could contact him on his registered email to help him recover his above account. He is not able to log in due to this email notification and validation issue. Thank you. He would greatly appreciate it.
Shawn Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Hopefully wm cheng can get in now I see the default is off on the followed content, but it isn't disabled of course I don't remember where you go to ENABLE this on a post you want to follow LOL

Shawn Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 I've got another report of user registration emails not getting out-I'll look into this later tonight and update
Shawn Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 OK Mail should be flowing again Please holler if you don't get emails...if you can log in LOL
Shawn Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 It looks like all the Yahoo email addresses are being metered by Yahoo's email servers, so those are going to take a while to get through

I've tried both accounts (the second one too) and it just says I'm locked out. This is no longer just about followed content, it's about not sending any emails out including email validation emails to sign into accounts." Thank you.
wm cheng Posted June 9, 2023 Author Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Hi @Shawn Yay! I got back on!!! Thanks @arbit for your help. I started getting emails to the new address last night around 1am. I started getting all the email verification requests as well. I guess when the thread email notifications got turned off, it also turned off any email verification requests too so I couldn't log in after I switched email addresses thinking there was something wrong with my email. Everything is back now. Thanks! Edited June 9, 2023 by wm cheng
Shawn Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I had to rebuild the firewall a bit ago, and one of the default settings (which I missed!) was the block all outbound emails...yay team Anyways I removed that default rule and resent all the hundreds of emails backed up Everything should be working again as normal, and if not please holler!

wm cheng Posted August 3, 2023 Author Posted August 3, 2023 Hi @Shawn my mailbox has gone silent again, did you turn off the email notifications again? Just wondering if you were aware that the threads I'm following are not receiving email notifications once again. I guess its only old timers like me that use the email notifications to followed threads nowadays LOL 😛 Hope all is well with you.
Shawn Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Nothing intentionally, I'll check tonight, thanks for the heads up! S
Shawn Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 ok...fixed...again LOL some strange default firewall rule is enabled on the outbound email, sorry the backed up mail queue is completely empty now, so I hope everyone has everything they needed!
wm cheng Posted August 4, 2023 Author Posted August 4, 2023 Thanks Shawn!!! You're the best. I can't believe I've e-known you since the early 2000s - I gotta buy you a drink someday if you're in Toronto!
Shawn Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 No kidding...the fact that I've been talking Macross stuff with many of you on the forums here since 2001 is insane. 22 years...that is a really really LONG freaking time!!
wm cheng Posted March 5, 2024 Author Posted March 5, 2024 Hey @Shawn - sorry to bug you again, but the emails from MW have gone strangely quiet, could you check if you're still sending out updates? Am I the only one that uses email updates? 🤣
Shawn Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 I know the PM emails work, but I think I may have default disabled the forum post ones, unless you chose to subscribe I'll check tonight!
Shawn Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 ok-getting familiar with the process, be patient OK...so at the BOTTOM is a 'FOLLOW TOPIC' which Make sure that is enabled Then in your account profile, choose "Manage Followed Content" Then choose your email preference, and the more detailed 'change how the notification is sent' (optional) Ok...so that seems normal Now I can post this, and see what happens Will I get a notification on my own post? Anyone else want to post a 'test' real quick here too?
