I wasn't sure where to post this. I used to get e-mails from SOR about daily activity, overbid notices, etc. But am getting none of that now. Is anyone else having the same problem, or is it just me?

re: Not getting E-mails from SOR

Hi Joe,
The system is sending you emails. Go into the Members Area and look in the Email Log. (Bottom of the left hand list of options). You will see all the emails that the system has sent you. So, the question is why are you not getting them? I am not seeing any email bounce backs for your email account so the message are are getting through. Please check your Junk or Spam folders. Chances are your email program is putting them in there.

Regards ... Tim.

re: Not getting E-mails from SOR

I checked my e-mail file - you're right, they are being sent. But where are they going? I checked my Junk files and they are not there. I am not a techie, so could someone suggest where they might be. They don't appear to be bounced back so is there any way I could have accidentally done something really stupid. I get lots of emails on a daily basis from other sources, just nothing from SOR.

Try putting this in your email address book
mailsvr@stamporama.com

You may have them going to your trash and do you have the setting set to delete trash?

re: Not getting E-mails from SOR

Thanks Doug, but that's already in my address book and stuff that goes into my trash doesn't get deleted until I delete it. Is there any other suggestion out there? It's frustrating to not know when you have been overbid on an item you really want! Thanks very much for all the suggestions so far!

Check "Spam" file, many times over the years I have accidentally sent read emails there, and once one is sent others follow.

Do you have multiple email accounts? I know I do. Check that you are looking for the emails in the email account that you have registered.

Thanks for all the help, but I only have one account and have checked Junk/spam files. There is nothing there. I guess I might have to live with it!

re: Not getting E-mails from SOR

Harvey is it possible that you at sometime blocked the emails and they are now being blocked at your server, thereby not getting through to your mailbox.
Maybe try redoing the original link from your members profile.
Just a thought.

re: Not getting E-mails from SOR

I had the same issue with my AOL email. Mail from this site suddenly stopped coming. I tried all the steps mentioned and even contacted AOL to no relief. I finally changed my address here to my gmail account and I’m fine. I’d delete my AOL account but it’s so widely known, so I don’t dare.

re: Not getting E-mails from SOR

Glad you finally got around the problem, but I can't do what you do since I only have one E-mail address. The only thing that bugs me is not getting over-bid notices. I just have to remember to check my status occasionally and live with not getting notices.

"I had the same issue with my AOL email. Mail from this site suddenly stopped coming. "



AOL is notorious for dropping emails it considers spam, without notifying either party. And don't ask what they consider spam! Sometimes all it takes is an accidental click on "This is spam" and it's banned for life. Maybe Eastlink is the same.

Part of the problem is that the SOR emails are generated by the server, and that can begin to look suspicious to the receiving ISP.

Email is not like it was 10-15 years ago. Then, you could assume that if you sent it, they got it. No longer. Managing email servers has become a hideously complex exercise, managing reputation, making sure your IP address doesn't get on blocked lists, monitoring bouncebacks so you don't get blacklisted etc etc.

Harvey, my guess is that eastlink has it in for Stamporama for some reason. Get a gmail account and use that on stamporama. You don't even have to go to gmail to see your email. Once you have the account, forward the gmail mail to your usual email address. Your ISP won't block gmail.


Use this google search:
"forward gmail to another account"

Instructions will pop right up.

re: Not getting E-mails from SOR

It seems as if some of my messages from SOL have started again after a two week break. Did any one of you do something to help - if so, thanks! If not, then they might stop again at any time, fingers crossed and knock on wood!!
