Can you try that actually? Test once more with hotmail and if it doesn't go through, switch it to gmail and test it again. Let me know how it goes.

Alright I had Sarah send me a PM on the hotmail address. No e-mail. Switched to the gmail address, she sent another PM, and I got an e-mail notification. So yeah...seems to only be affecting hotmail addresses or something.

Weird...anyone have any ideas?

Just did a quick search on the Invision Power Company Forums and found this post reproduced here:

The DNS data reported above would certainly cause e-mail to be rejected by many receiving ISPs. For me to do any further research on that issue, I'd need to know the IP Address of the out-going server involved. That research would be on the BL status of that server in particular, which may be yet another issue. Example being that due to lack of spam control, that server may be spewing spam and gotten itself into any number of BLs which are used by the receiving ISPs to block that incoming spam.

Rejections, bounces and such should be identified in the e-mail (server) logs, but ... do you have access to those?

On the other hnad, some users don't want to be 'bothered' by spam, so (in the case of the mentioned Yahoo and Hotmail) they configure thrie accounts to simply delete anything that finds its way to the Junk/Spam folders ... and as such, even if they 'check' those folders, there isn't anything there.

IPB Forum e-mails have had a long history of making thier way into the Junk/Spam folder on a number of systems, especially the 'free' e-mail providers. The Forum e-mail generation skipped things like adding in a Date: line, some of the Subject: lines contained 'magic words' for some spam-filters .. just a couple of ancient/historical known issues. And in the case of some of these free e-mail hosts, some users have a tendency to report anything found in their Junk/Spam folders as spam, thereby continuing the problem for other IPB Forums .....
I'll check the email logs.
