Email Notifications

I have not checked to see what your e-mail address is but you should check to see that they are not going to a spam folder or that they are blocked by your Internet Service Provider.

I was notified last week that A.T.&T. was blocking our e-mail as we are on their list of spammers. I know sbcglobal blockes our e-mail also.

I should also mention that the e-mails sent from TrainBoard are sent by our automated software.

If you have it set to do so, you will get an e-mail from us if someone sends you a private message, responds to a thread to which you are subscribed, etc. It even sends you a message on your birthsay wishing you a Happy Birthday.

Those e-mails are sent at 1:00 AM Eastern U.S. time. So, about 1:02 or 1:03 every morning we get 6 or 7 bounce e-mails from people that do not have a current e-mail address in their profile.

E-mail filtering software run by Internet Service Providers can detect automated e-mails (rather than e-mail messages sent by Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.) and it trashes a lot of them under the assumption that it is spam.

I have made several attempts in the last few years to fill out forms and do things that some of these big providers want you to do to prove to them that you are not a spammer but I don't think I ever was successful at jumping through any of their hoops.

Some providers have a spam folder that you can check. Others let you set e-mail addresses that are not spam that you can allow their messages through.

However, if the messages are blocked at the server level, there would not be any settings that you could alter that would effect your ability to receive the messages.
