some ISPs are very trigger-happy adding sites to their blacklists. I'm glad they responded quickly to the removal request... 😎

EDIT: Mail is bouncing back from your ISP. I've visited their blacklist page and have submitted a removal request for BEA.

HUH! I've never heard of that before!!!!!!

BEA is on shared hosting and the mail server shares the same IP address as other unrelated websites. If the other sites cause a problem and end up blacklisted, BEA ends up on the same list for no fault of our own and our mail will bounce before it hits your mail box. It happens occasionally, and until BEA can afford the money for dedicated hosting, it will continue to be an issue. I won't publicly say who your email is hosted by, but I can tell from your email address. If you approached them to mention this, it would help a lot to speed up getting BEA removed from that list.

Don't all those e-mails ever get tired of all the bouncing around? 🤔

Maybe my rejected emails are bouncing over to you!

Notifiers of email messages still come as normal for me. It's notifications of chart ratings or album comments that go to spam with the sender. The change happened on Jan 8 or 9. I didn't change anything here that I am aware of, but the email provider may have changed something that I am not.

EDIT: To clarify, notifiers of onsite messages still come as they did with webmaster@besteveralbums as sender. That's what I meant with email messages.

thanks for clarifying, I'll check into that, but nothing has changed on the site since before Christmas so that sounds a bit strange. 😕

Pam, you shouldn't be receiving anything without your consent. It might be, without realising, that you are still 'watching' some threads from before you changed the 'Always notify me of replies' setting. If you check your profile page, and click on the Watched topics link, you will see if anything is listed (there should be a 'delete all' button at the bottom).

Just so that I can look in the right place, which notifications are people referring to here? There are ones from the forum regarding new posts etc, but also ones from the main site regarding new comments/ratings on your chart and replies to album/track/chart comments.

For me, it's all of them, forums and the rest of the site. And there's nothing going to my spam folder.

I had the same thing, or so I thought. They started going to the spambox and I noticed that they all now say "" instead of "albummaster".

I used to get them...now I don't get any email notifications from this site. I don't think I turned anything off. Are those still available?
