Where is my subscription mail?

[richard.york]

I am curious to know why I stopped getting my subscribed forums in my email?

I know that my ISP has had breif outages in the past with regards to my mail server, would this have anything to do with that?

Any insight gratefully recieved!

I'd definitely suggest checking with your ISP first. Unfortunately, someone (or many someones) are using spoofed wrox.com email addresses in a lot of spam. It might be possible that your ISP, or even an upstream ISP, is blocking some/all email appearing to originate from wrox.com including P2P email because of this.

If the ISP can't help and you still aren't getting the mail, let us know.

Thanks Jim,
I shot out an email to my ISP's tech support and they told me they did not have spam filtering software in place... well they said that they did, but that it was not activated by default.

I suppose what I imagined happening was my mail server went down for maintenance, and it has been down at least for a couple of hours in the past few weeks.. would bounced messaged remove my email from the delivery list? That doesn't seem feasible in that I couldn't have gotten messages from all six or seven forums in that little time it was down.

I also subscribed to few more forums about a week or so ago and that is about the time that I stopped getting the mail.

I dunno! I know that I don't have any filtering mechanism on my machine, and there is none on the POP3 server that handles the mail. Before about a week ago I was getting everything just dandy.

Update:

I got into my profile and switched my email address from my hosted email to a hotmail address and I am now able to receive my forum mail. Apparently something is screwy at my ISP or somewhere between wrox.com and my ISP.
