STILL not getting email updates. What's wrong?

[Muse]

I haven't changed anything and I checked my Mailwasher and email updates from Anandtech Forums are not filtered out or blacklisted. The last few days I'm getting no emails for threads I'm subscribed to. Yes, they are getting new posts. Why no emails? TIA for any help.

PS The last email I got from moderator@anandtech.com was Feb. 18th!

Any help here?
Not getting emails for subscriptions

I read the linked thread and don't get any ideas. Got any? My Mailwasher has everything from anandtech.com marked as "friend." I don't believe those emails are going out to me. Is there any way you can check to see if emails are going out to me? I think there's something wrong in your system.

Bump. Still not getting any emails from anandtech. Even with my spam filtering software bypassed (Mailwasher).

bump. Still nothing.

I'm getting them... 4+ hours after the post.

Here's the thread I'm using to monitor: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...?catid=38&threadid=1828480&STARTPAGE=1

I still haven't gotten all the emails for that thread yet.

A PM to moderator got a helpful response. Mod said it was probably my pacbell.net Spam Protection on steroids and out of control. I've been on the phone and futzing around with their tech support trying to get it to work - there's supposed to be a button callee Not Spam that I can use to inform the filtering mechanism that I want future emails from certain parties. The button is inexplicably missing from my plain vanilla IE, go figure. I'm awaiting a call from a higher tier tech support person. Meantime, I've had to turn off SBCGlobal/Pacbell.net/Yahoo/ATT (who the hell are they, anyway?) Spam Protection. :disgust:

Don't want to say "I told you so" , oh, wait - yes I do - I told you so. 🙂

Well, I didn't see anything in the thread that lead to a solution. Probably my bad.

A helpful software engineer at one of my subscribed forums clued me into how Yahoo Spam Protection actually works and now I have things working OK (I hope!).

You have to open a message to reveal the Not Spam button. He also clued me into how I can set up filters to keep the protection from bulking my subscribed forums and other legit addressees. Good thing because I discovered that with Spam Protection off I was getting more spam than legit emails!!! I had no idea. What I don't comprehend is why Spam Protection suddenly thought my Anandtech (and several other subscribed forums) was spam. It certainly was not anything I did.
