NOT GETTING EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ALL OF A SUDDEN

Anyone else not getting email notifications from lightstalkers all of a sudden? I’m wondering if it’s a problem with Lightstalkers or with my email server.

Thanks.

is “send email” ticked.

by skyler b. ramin | 24 Apr 2008 16:04 | Vancouver, Canada |
Me neither. Will check settings.

Me neither… and my box is on.

Ok, so it’s a site problem? My filtering is off too.

by Charlie Mahoney | 24 Apr 2008 18:04 | Barcelona, Spain |
Yep, my “send email” is ticked. still no mail.

Write Shinji if it is a site problem.

I just started having the same problem. No notifications. My “send email” ticked, everything else is exactly the same way as it was and I just stopped getting them. How did you guys solve it?

by Peter Klesken | 28 Apr 2008 01:04 | NYC, United States |
Shinji knows about the problem as he returned my email the other day. As of now, the problem is still unresolved. You just have to keep checking in.

by Charlie Mahoney | 28 Apr 2008 07:04 | Cork, Ireland |
are you guys getting your subscriptions? coz i’m still not getting them. i’ve written to shinji but no reponse…

by Peter Klesken | 03 May 2008 11:05 | NYC, United States |
I am not getting e-mail notifications either…

by Martin Fuchs | 03 May 2008 11:05 | Vienna, Austria |
I’m not getting subscriptions either, but Shinji knows about the problem.

Other problems I’ve found recently with the site:

1) Can’t edit gallery photo information like captions, keywords and seconds per image for the slide show. When I try to it takes me to the page to create a new gallery.

2) Can’t upload mp3 audio files.

Shinji is aware of these problems also.

by Charlie Mahoney | 03 May 2008 11:05 | Barcelona, Spain |
Are you guys still not geting your mail? I just got this from support:

Most likely, email from lightstalkers.org is being blocked by an intermediary spam filter. Unfortunately, we have no control over this; your best bet is to check your spam filters, or, if that’s not the issue, contact your ISP for help. Thanks!

but i didn’t find anything in my junk mail…

My spam filter has been turned off and still I haven’t been getting e-mail notifications for at least a month.
Sent an e-mail to Shinji…no response.

by Gregory Sharko | 10 May 2008 23:05 | Brooklyn, New York, United States |
i have not received any email notices for several weeks and i have not changed any settings on either lightstalkers or my email account. i think it is a lightstalker issue.

by Skippy Sanchez | 11 May 2008 12:05 | Wichtia Kansas, United States |
Yeah, not sure what is going on either, but Shinji is aware of the problem. You might want to email him.

by Charlie Mahoney | 12 May 2008 07:05 | Barcelona, Spain |
This is starting to bother me! Are there people that get their mail from LS? Maybe it’s a selective thing.

by Peter Klesken | 13 May 2008 16:05 | NYC, United States |
indeed, every time i see an email in my inbox with the subject Re: NOT GETTING EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ALL OF A SUDDEN i think about the irony of life.

i have a test for you, change your lightstalkers default address to another email addreses and then we will post something here and see if you get the email notifcation.

thus ruling out if it is your current mail account that is having trouble.

by the way it can be done here https://www.lightstalkers.org/clients/update_contact_info

Tried that Sascha and it didn’t work. I also went in to http://www.lightstalkers.org/subscriptions and discovered something new: all my subscriptions say ‘unsuscribed.’ When I click on them nothing happens. No options and no change. Take a look at your subscription page.

by Charlie Mahoney | 13 May 2008 19:05 | Barcelona, Spain |
hmm, mine say “unsubscribe” next to them and if i click on one that thread goes away and i am left with a shorter list.

strange times, strange times indeed.

try going to this page… http://www.lightstalkers.org/clients/toggle_subscription

by skyler b. ramin | 13 May 2008 22:05 | Vancouver, Canada |
same here.

by Charlie Mahoney | 14 May 2008 09:05 | Barcelona, Spain |
ah the demise of the full sentence.

“same here” what?

the presence or lack of the “ed” at the end of unsubscribe is important. i do get all my email notifications and mine say unsubscribe (no ‘ed’) and when i click on that i no longer get email for that particular thread.

when you say you tried changing your lightstalkers email did you change it to somethingelse@charliemahoney.net or to a totally different email domain. the main reason that a certain email address is not getting them is the possibility that your mail sever has blacklisted lightstalkers.org and changing the user @ the same domain will not effect this. try changing it to something totally different charlie5000@yahoo or what have you.

by skyler b. ramin | 14 May 2008 13:05 | Vancouver, Canada |
that worked! i cud of riten like i tex.

I think you are right on Sascha. I imagine Go Daddy has blacklisted lightstalkers as I no longer receive these notifications to my web site email address charlie@charliemahoney.net. When I changed to gmail, they started arriving again. Now how can I say that I want to receive email from Lightstalkers!? That is the question.

by Charlie Mahoney | 14 May 2008 15:05 | Barcelona, Spain |
ls in blacklisted on two lists…

Company | Contact | Support | Free Tools

MX Lookup
Blacklists
Diagnostics
Analyze Headers
SPF Records
Free Monitoring

Blacklists
Server IP:

We notice you are on a blacklist. Click here for some suggestions.

Blacklist Name Status Reason TTL Response Time (ms)
CBL LISTED Blocked – see Detail
Return codes were: 127.0.0.2 3600 453
Spamhaus-ZEN LISTED Detail
Return codes were: 127.0.0.4 1800 4468

the important one is cbl

and the information is here http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=67.228.224.50

i don’t really understand your last question, you said the emails started coming and then you say you want to receive emails. i suppose you mean at your original address?

i will email shinji about the blacklisting.

by skyler b. ramin | 14 May 2008 15:05 | Vancouver, Canada |
Exactly! I want to receive emails using my original email address.

by Charlie Mahoney | 14 May 2008 15:05 | Barcelona, Spain |
Any news…?? Mine still not working.

Thank you very much,

Alex

No news, Alex. I’m not sure what is happening. I ultimately changed my email login at lightstalkers and now I receive the updates in my gmail account. I think that Sascha was right, that our service providers are spam-blocking lightstalkers.

by Charlie Mahoney | 20 May 2008 15:05 | Barcelona, Spain |
Charlie…Thanks for the tip about changing my e-mail address on the log-in page. That never occurred to me. I just switched to a different e-mail account in my profile. Hope this works.
Cheers, G.

by Gregory Sharko | 20 May 2008 21:05 | Brooklyn, New York, United States |
i switched to a couple of accounts and they all seem to have been blocked except gmail.

i contacted my provider and they asked for the IP of the server where the email was coming from. i contacted LS support… will keep you updated.

by Peter Klesken | 21 May 2008 12:05 | NYC, United States |
switching the address on the same mail domain wont do anything as the server is blacklisting lightstalkers.

ls’s ip is 67.228.224.50

by skyler b. ramin | 21 May 2008 14:05 (ed. May 21 2008) | Vancouver, Canada |
Still nothing here…even with a switch to Yahoo…damn it.

by Gregory Sharko | 21 May 2008 14:05 | Brooklyn, New York, United States |
its possible that due to gmails nature that they run their own spam lists and are not affected my the general blacklists

ls is still listed in the cbl http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=67.228.224.50

perhaps its a good time to get a gmail account.
