GHScorpiosRule July 16 Share July 16 Noticed this yesterday. PMing with other posters, but the notifications that I received a PM in my email didn't arrive until late yesterday afternoon/evening. I had been exchanging pms in the morning and early afternoon. Usually, I get the email almost at the same time I receive the PM on the site. Not sure if it's a one time glitch or if something needs to be adjusted. Google/Chrome/Windows 10 iPhone 15 Pro Max/Safari (latest OiS) Link to comment
CM-BlueButterfly July 17 Share July 17 Can you tell if it's still an issue? Do you get other notifications as well or just PM notifications? If it's the former, is the delay limited to PM notifications? Link to comment
AllAstronauts July 17 Share July 17 Not for nothing, but Yahoo email (and I can see this directly in the email logs on the server) can get really grumpy with too many emails from one source over a short period of time. It's not so much an "us" problem but a "Yahoo" problem. It still goes through, but they (Yahoo) purposely delay accepting the email. This site is going to use a trusted email provider for outbound-from-the-server emails in the near future to maybe smooth this over but Yahoo might still Yahoo if you know what I mean... Email is a hellscape on the provider side these days and trust is hard to come by (or create) and so here we are. 2 Link to comment

And until the day before yesterday, they always were immediate. 8 hours ago, AllAstronauts said: Not for nothing, but Yahoo email (and I can see this directly in the email logs on the server) can get really grumpy with too many emails from one source over a short period of time.

So I'll just blame this on Yahell, and hope it corrects itself. Maybe. Link to comment
