I had to turn OFF email notifications for Forum/Thread subscriptions and they will have to stay OFF for quite some time.

Unfortunately, a bunch of members have flagged our notification emails as SPAM even though they have to OPT-IN to receive those notifications and as a result we have been blacklisted by many of the larger email services, like gmail etc.

This means i will have to spent days/weeks going back an forth with a bunch of blacklist service providers to get this straightened out.

Thanks for your hard work. I'm guessing that some folks have that flagging automated and don't even realize it happened? I'm hoping?

Thanks, @SirAndy !
I haven't received e-mail notifications for a few years; seems like Optimum (Altice) rejects any auto emails generated through a Verizon server (so one techie told me). Some sort of Pi$$ing match, probably. Tried calling their Customer Service folks a few times, but gave up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

@SirAndy - very sorry to hear this.

Yup - I learned the first week that I joined (several years ago now), that I subscribe to so many topics so I can find them later that my mailbox was exploding . . .stopped that quickly. I figure that if I need to know how the dice are rolling, I'll just sit at the table and watch closely. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

We appreciate all that you and the administrators do - more than words/emojis can express.

Well said, Ian - yes, Sir - group therapy platform!

Dr.SirAndy, perhaps? Sir Dr.Andy has quite a ring to it . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Sorry to hear shit like this happened, Andy.

Nobody should have to spend precious time to deal with other people's F-ups. It's even worse when you reach the age of limited headroom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Sorry to hear. Sounds like a male version of a Karen complained about their own notices?!

Was wondering why I wasn't receiving...

Thanks SirAndy for all the work. Keeping a 914 site running likely is harder than keeping a 914 running!
