PM E-mail

Why does it take several days to get an e-mail about a PM? I used to get them almost instantly, but now I have been getting them a couple days after I get the PM and I don't know I need to long in and respond.

Just wondering...

You probably haven't set it up. You have to click yes to receive emails about PM's.

I just double checked. I have the box checked to receive e-mail when I have a new PM.

If you aren't receiving them, they are probably getting snagged by a spam filter. If you are receiving them late, that is likely the fault of your email provider being slow. In any case, the e-mails are sent instantly and everyone who gets them, gets them instantly.

Mine is AOL. I never had a problem with it before the last month or so.

Any updates? Kinda weird. I got some e-mails about PM's from Zach right away, and then I got some from ChevySlayer 2-3days later.

I am sure its DNS, I dont have rights to change that. AOL requires a reverse DNS entry to accept email from it. Its kinda like their 'spam filter'. I know that is part of it. also AOL wants email servers to be set a certain way. let me look into it. i am bored tonight anyway.

I think I already found the answer.

We are with this current host until April because I paid for 4 months. I may move it because I am not 100% satisfied. Lets wait it out until then. If we dont move then I will try to resolve it. If we do move then its a whole new battle.
