For awhile now I haven't been getting both my posted messages nor updated posts from others (I have to keep checking back in to the board manually to see what has been posted). I checked my "e-mail preferences" and the option is "yes" to receive, but no go.
Any ideas?

Patience there Jeff.
By the time the message get to the gulf coast looking for you, then hang around under a shade tree for a spell, then wander about asking after you, down a few cold Buds, have a little snooze, then go fishing, then start north after realizing you're not down there any more it takes a while.
But I'm jis' sayin's all ...........

Best of luck. ....

Murf, great.
Mr. EW, reading Murf's comments made me wonder, is it the Mafia or the FBI you are moving from. Wait do not answer that for you then would have to move again.
Then I realize you are a snow bird, you live in the snowless South in the winter and the less hot North in the summer. EW is one of the smartest people I know...kt ....

I don't use that feature so can't tell you if it's working or not, but here's a couple of dumb questions. Did your email address change when you moved? And, if so, did you change it on your profile? Told you they were dumb. ....

EW I sent you a regular email to the address that you have in your profile a couple of days ago asking you to reply and I sent it return receipt.
I think you have a problem with either your email account or the address in your profile.

Dennis like I said I haven't changed anything: e-mail address on my profile (just checked it) is good and hasn't changed in nearly two years. And also I did get an e-mail alert going back to April 2, so it was working at one time.
I didn't get your messages you mentioned either. Even looked in "junk mail"...nuthin'
I did send myself an e-mail from my TP profile page and it hasn't gone through to me.
Could your server have something to do with it. ....

FWIW, I still get them regularly - several today as a matter of fact. My vote goes to the spam filter idea, either at your provider or on your PC.

Since you are using a "Hotmail" account it is possible they are blocking mail from us I'll send you three emails ( gmail,yahoo, and TP), let me know which ones you get.
You may need to change to another free email service.

Dennis, I think Jeff may be onto something.
I had forgotten, I've sent a few emails to people through the site feature recently and none got any response, I now wonder if they even went through.
In the last month or so I've sent emails to (in no particular order) Peters, Chief, DRankin, Kenneth, SG, Jeff, Dennis, Frank, Harvey and Art. If any of you named here are reading this please chime in and let me know if anything was received please.
Best of luck. ....

Dennis, I still didn''t get any of your three e-mails, nor any e-mail alerts, nor the message I sent myself from TP nor messages from Murf (he SAYS he sends them :) )
Okay if Hotmail is blocking them (which I'm not convinced is the problem because I get all kinds of e-mail from different sources)--how can it be unblocked? I'm just a little (dumb) guy so I don't have the wherewithall to figure that one out.
Has anyone tried sending themselves a message through the TP option? ....

EW see my previous message, I did not send you the Three messages I mentioned because I found out "for sure" Hotamil is blocking mail from TP to you.
I can tell because I get a bounced email notice on my end.

If tractorpoint messages are bouncing back to Dennis, and your profile address is correct, it's a almost definitely a hotmail problem. Dennis can't fix any hotmail issues so you might email their support (such as it is) and ask them why they're bouncing messages from jplan.com. They could easily have blacklisted a block of IP addresses that include Tractorpoint and you'd never see them in your spam box. ....

I am working with our email abuse group to see if we can get Hotmail to accept our email.
Not sure how long this will take.
If you want a first class free provider I suggest you open a google mail account known as gmail. I use it and it works great.

EW, I don't use hotmail but any ISP would need to know your email address and the email address of the sender. If you have an old email from TP maybe you could attach it to your complaint and tell them that you used to get messages from TP (see attached) but they now seem to be blocked by hotmail.
I second Dennis' recommendation of gmail.

The mail situation is a major headache! According to the abuse department Hotmail is now unblocked. At least for the moment. I tested a message yesterday and it went through.
Not to say it won't get blocked real soon. I am working on an alternate ;-(

Now that you've resurrected the topic, my email notices stopped coming in a couple of weeks ago. I was getting them just fine when this thread was started, but then all of a sudden they just quit. I figured it was related to reconfiguring on your end. Now I'm wondering if it has to do with my account getting downgraded somehow. Losing premium status for whatever reason may have coincided with the email stoppage.

Hi Greg,
That is interesting!
Your membership wasn't downgraded, the memberships run for a 12 month period and it simply expired, even for honorary expert memberships. If I upgraded you in the past on TP I am happy do it again as is appropriate.
What may have happened is that I have separate code blocks for email alerts for Premium and Regular members. Premium members get the full message, regular members get just a link to the message on TP. I have looked at the code and I don't see a problem.
So help me out. You should get an alert as a regular member from this post. After I send it I am going to upgrade your account. I'll then post another message to this thread after the Premium upgrade.
Please let me know which messages you receive.
Regards,
Dennis ....

Greg,
OK your account is now Premium. If you only get this message and not the one before the upgrade, I have some code to look at.
Thanks for your help

Ok, when I upgraded your account my server sends you an email confirmation. That email was not delivered and bounced back to me with a notice that your mail server is blocking my mail server as it considers it to be a spam site.
Unfortunately, I have may have to migrate to a new server to fix this, which is a big job.
I think a couple of things have happened in the last few months, where much more blocking is going on and will continue. Unfortunately users of shared mail servers such as TP can get blacklisted because of the activities of others.
Dennis

Sorry to be so slow to respond. Logged off. Premium membership was indicated upon logging back on. No email notification, but I see you've already discovered this. Thanks for diggin' into it
The email address I've listed in my profile is an alias, designed to keep spam outa my Inbox. But I've set up the filters to deliver unsolicited email to the Junk mail box instead. In this case, it's obviously not even making it TO my filters, apparently being rejected farther up front in the system. I know it works, as I got an email from Jeff (Earthwrks) at that address just a couple of days ago.
I do have an unlisted address (different provider) but I do not want the address displayed in the profile. If you contact me at my profile address, I'll give you the unlisted address by return email.

Greg,
TP does not display on any page your TP email address, even when you send a private message, the address is kept in your profile and is only used to send you alerts and private messages.
Our private messages just show your userid not your email address.
EW,
I think we are blacklisted again on Hotmail, I opened a hotmail account, I will check it out later.
The only anonymous mail source we have not had a problem with is Google mail (gmail.com)
Dennis

Ok, changed email but not profile. You must be blocked by both of my email providers. I'm not talking separate addresses here, I'm talking completely different providers - unrelated domains. Both are fee-based full service providers, so it's not one of the freebie mail service providers in this case.

Yes it is current normal.
The idea is that if there is a problem on the site where the message is not posted, you won't lose all the text you typed, and you should be able to cut and paste it back when the site is up.
