No go. I whitelisted the 'noreply' address yesterday. There have been a couple of different threads that I am in or watching with new posts. No notification.
This is to my same old earthlink.net address that I've used for years.

If there is any suggestion that I should change to my gmail account I'll try that.

I had two more this morning, both from the "no reply" domain.

No notifications for me.

I just switched the email you have from my aol (meh!) to comcast. Let's see if that works.

Some of us get them, some of us don't. $:\$

a simple workaround for those who not getting notifications would be to set up a new gmail account and just have it forward all emails to your preferred address.

https://accounts.google.com/SignUp

then go into settings (gear icon in upper right)

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/general

and set it to forward to your current address

I do hope to fix this. It worked on the old server for almost everyone. I think it's some magic combination of postfix settings and DNS MX records. It's all very confusing to me.

I just received a topic reply notification. I changed my forum email over to my gmail account from earthlink.net. Why ask why.

I just discovered why the server wasn't accepting incoming mail. Firewall. Duh! Fixed.

Maybe allowing port 25 (the standard mail port) will fix the delivery problem that some people are still experiencing. Stay tuned.

I received a notification from noreply@bb.steelguitarforum.com. My email is a private address which forwards to Google Gmail.

Good to know. Jimmie's using hotmail.com. Does anyone know how to whitelist noreply@bb.steelguitarforum.com in hotmail?

I got one that went to my Junk mail

Maybe Hotmail should change their name to Notmail.

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 16 Dec 2017 12:12 pm

I haven't received any mail from the forum lately. But for a long time Hotmail.com (now called outlook.com) would automatically put them in the Junk mail folder. I tried adding the forum to my address book but they still went to the junk folder. About a month ago they started appearing in my inbox???? But, no forum e-mails lately so I don't know if its still working correctly.

I haven't been able to send an e-mail through this place in over a year. I sent an e-mail to b0b trying to tell him about it, and it didn't go through, either. I thought about writing a letter, but as of yet, haven't.

Bill Fisher's email address is at AOL.

Try sending me an email now, Bill. When I get it, I'll reply.

Jack, I just sent you an email. Did you get it?

Damir is at yahoo.com. Is anyone else with a Yahoo email address having problems?

(Email problems, that is. I don't want to hear about your wife/girlfriend/boss issues.)

Jim, have you checked your spam/junk folder? This is the first report I've seen from a bellsouth.net address.
