Not getting forum notification email? Here's why...

[Pete]

I noticed today that there were a huge number of bounced notification emails in the forum email system... Looks like the forum IP address has been flagged for some reason as a spam generator, and multiple email carriers have blocked any email from OWF.

If you are with Comcast, Earthlink, Verizon, Etc, email sent to you through the forum went out into the blue yonder.

I'm in the process of working through a fix with the powers that be...

The rest of the forum will continue to work normally, but notification email may not reach you until I get it straightened out.

Thanks,

Pete

What a pain.
This happens randomly to other forums as well.
Don't understand why it happens to legit forums and the million-a-day spammers get by.
Sigh.

Should be working normally again. I'm wondering if getting blacklisted is a retribution for sending a few dozen spammers and their IP addresses down the drain...

Update-

The forum mail IP was still being blocked by many email service providers, so I was able to get our host to move us to a different IP address. I'm hoping this will take care of the issue once and for all...
