Hi, Everyone -
Emails coming from the Forum can be for a variety of reasons, such as notice of topic reply, new private message, notice of new account activation, and the like, and these emails must reach the member (or proposed member) . . . which is why we require that everyone have an active email address on file.
Unfortunately, we are still experiencing problems with various email providers who have chosen to block all emails coming from the forum. We are trying to resolve this situation but we have no control over them, either.
Emails that are going to your Spam or Junk folders are not considered as being 'blocked' - that just means you have not added our email address {siteadmin (at) crossdressers-haven (dot) com} into your Contacts List.
I'd like to know - via poll and/or comments below - if your email provider is actually blocking our emails from reaching you. I know that I am personally experiencing problems with both Yahoo! and Hotmail/Outlook.
If our emails are reaching you without any problem, please do NOT answer the poll above. However, please let us know the email provider you are using so that we know which one we may all want to use!
Members who wish to use another email address for the forum - please contact me via PM only with that new address and I will make that change to your account.
Changing Your Email Address - http://crossdressers-haven.com/forums/v ... 65&t=15991" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Thanks in advance!

Re: Forum Emails Being Blocked
Honestly I don't recall ever seeing an email. Maybe you should send one at a particular time and date so we can all watch for it. I have yahoo but at the moment, I'm getting bombarded by dozens a day so I only occasionally scan thru them to see if good stuff is getting caught.

Davita -
You are not currently set to receive email notifications on new PMs or topic replies . . . you can change those settings via your UCP.
In re: sending out a mass email, right now that would not be effective because most members seem to be using Yahoo or Hotmail and I know from personal experience those emails are not being delivered.
I will be experimenting with Gmail next . . . but really hoping that Yahoo and Hotmail lift their email blocks soon.

Re: Forum Emails Being Blocked
For shame, Donna!
I've been receiving forum emails to both my Hotmail and Gmail accounts without any problems.
However, Yahoo is still blocking our emails.

Re: Forum Emails Being Blocked
Hi,
My email provider is AOL. I'm getting email from siteadmin (at) crossdressers-haven (dot) com whenever a PM arrives for me.
I generally see the PM long before the notification, cause I only check that account about once a week, or so.

Re: Forum Emails Being Blocked
Well, I'm pleased to report that our web host was successful in getting Yahoo! to lift their block and our emails are going through without incident. Yahoo was not blocking the forum per se but another site on our shared server.
As of this writing I am not aware of any email provider blocking our emails. If you are set to receive forum emails and you know they are not being delivered, please post below with the name of your email provider so we may check into it.
