Hi Chris -- may just be a fluke but I don't seem to be receiving email notifications for replies to threads. Looks like the last email I received was July 6.

Yep, there's a problem with the site's mail server. I've filed a support ticket so hopefully they get it resolved soon.

OK, making progress here. Apparently our site host decided to change SMTP ports and not tell me. I suspect they upgraded the mail servers and everything got set back to their default settings, as the SMTP port before was non-standard.

Most of you should be getting emails again. Most - not all. The IP address for our mail server has landed on Spamhaus CBL, so Dorki emails are being rejected by mail servers that use this. This is not because of us - dorkiphus.net isn't blocked, but the IP is so I suspect that another host using the same mail server was relaying spam. I've asked our host to get the IP removed (or change the IP of the mail server). I'm getting Dorki emails on my gmail account.

OK, digging deeper, they no only changed SMTP ports on me, they changed servers. Without telling me. The email program I use to monitor the Dorki email addresses? Pointing to the old server, so no new mail is getting in. The new server has different ports opened up for sending mail, which is what broke emails coming from the board. Cherry on top? The new server is on SPAM blacklists, so half of you still aren't getting emails because your ISPs are blocking the new mail server.

As soon as I can get the new server off the blacklist things should be back to normal.

Thanks for digging into this! I'm evidently one of the fortunate few -- I just started receiving emails.

Again, thanks!
