My settings are alright and on each post there's a checkbox to be notified and that's always set.

Anyway, I tried disabling and enabling.

Forum notices being blocked on your end!

Post by Richard »

I checked your forum account setup: everything there is fine.
I checked current forum operation: all notices are being sent as expected.

The problem is that the mass email notice is being blocked on your end.
Check the setup of your email server, local firewall, and email client.
Depending on your setup, you may have additional things in the way of those notices.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm just a user of this email server, which is gmx.com and I'm receiving emails just fine in this account.

I talked to Spike^^ and he confirmed that sending an email directly to my address is working, but the mass CC is not.

I wouldn't know what else to check if they're being blocked by the server..

Are we sure that they are literally being blocked? Or, is it possible that your email server is putting them in something like a "Junk" email folder, instead of your inbox ?

Quite sure that's not the case.
