Hotmail (is the root of all evil)

Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:26 pm

My Hotmail account has not been allowing messages through from PPT for a couple days now. It's not going to junkmail or any other folder--I've checked them all. I've got no one on my blocked list and kym@kymhuynh is on every safe list I can add it to.
Any suggestions?

EDIT: And, for no reason whatsoever, I started getting email notifications again on the 29th.

I dont have any suggestions, but i've been having problems with hotmail not sending emails to me - although it doesnt seem to be consistently one email address that it's blocking, but i've not recieved emails from a whole heap of people in the last 6-9 months (that i know of)

It's done this to me before--I stopped getting Myspace emails, and my settings hadn't changed on Myspace or on Hotmail. I don't use Hotmail for anything besides automatic notifications anymore.

i've also found it's been sending people those "sorry can't deliver email" messages when i have received the email!

Hmm... Odd. Try checking if bounce-107292@emailenfuego.net is on the block list, because on my emails, it says:
From: bounce-107292@emailenfuego.net on behalf of PPT - Neopets Help, Neopets News & Neopets Guides (khuynh777@yahoo.com)

I cleared my block list yesterday, and still haven't been getting anything. It may have been on there, but I doubt it. I never got email from anything but from kym@kymhuynh.com for PPT after the update.
Oddly enough, I'm still getting email notifications from another forum, just not from PPT.

Just out of curiousity, how long have you not been getting PPT e-mails? Has it been since the downtime last weekend?

I can't remember. It seems like I got a few notifications after the forums came up, but that could be my brain playing tricks.
When I switched my email to a Gmail account, the notifications came through fine. I believe they're being sent but Hotmail's stopping them somehow.

the same thing happened to me over christmas and most of december. I had to change my email account on PPT to my hotmail one for various reasons, and I didnt get a single email at all!
I couldnt activate my account or anything!
It really annoyed me actually....i couldnt see anything from ppt in my junk box, inbox, outbox or any box for that matter....

It was then after about 3 weeks a ppt email finally arrived in my inbox and I could activate my account, which then led to me changing the email back the previous one I was using.

I had a hotmail account for ages, then I noticed that I was missing some emails. I'm still in the process of switching everything over to my gmail account. I still have problems trying to unsubscribe from certain mailing lists using Hotmail.
