Emails

Is anyone else not getting email notifications?

I've not any for a couple of days. Silly lj!

Seems to be broken here too

Hadn't noticed a lack as I haven't posted today, but apparently you're not the only one:

I haven't been getting them for comments on my comments on other people's LJs.

[andrewducker]

Yup - me either.

Who does your email?

Not in the last hour or so, but your girlfriend's comment to me (on her own journal) came through fine earlier today.

Lots and lots of big ISPs block LJ mail at the server level, due to the volume LJ sends out and the fact that the @lj address is a forward (and therefore it looks like LJ is relaying spam, since a lot of spammers carpetbomb LJ usernames).

LJ keeps taking steps, and contacting ISPs, and jumping through their hoops, and it works for a month and then it goes away again. I know Yahoo's blocking @lj forwards this week, for instance.

In this case it was worse than that. Two things seemed to happen:
First of all it was sending me emails for anything that went through the inbox (i.e. ocmments on my journal, and anything I was tracking), but replies to my comments on other journals were being lost. This could have been a weird GMail thing though.
And then later on comments on my journal weren't even reaching the inbox, indicating something was definitely wrong on LJ's side.

Ahem, I believe I asked you this very question about 4 days ago Mr D and you denied it and implied the problem was me!!

[andrewducker]

That was _you_.

Clearly this is _me_ and therefore more important!

Mine are slow, arriving late -- a few have yet to arrive after 12 hours.

Went through a period of not getting them a few weeks ago, but it's been fine lately.

I seem to be missing *some* comment notifications, but not all of them ... I'm still getting notifications for comments on my own LJ, for example. Except once. When I didn't get it.
