This is great news. However, not all problems have been fixed. The email notifications reported in viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1818 still don't work. I checked my queue and a lot of submissions had been attended to, but I didn't receive any notifications, except for one in my Junk folder, which was from Strident's personal email, not a CASA email. It looks like anything to or from gmail addresses are still being ignored.

Unfortunately the email issue is likely to be down to Gmail's change in policy re. incoming emails.
https://support.google.com/a/answer/811 ... 82113&rd=1

They have quite strict requirements now for accepting incoming emails. I can't send emails from any of my personal domains anymore to gmail users, because of the way the domains and the email systems are set up. I have to resort to using my own gmail or outlook addresses.

I guess this also affects people with Gmail to receive a notification by mail when you send a private message.

Correct. I never have any trouble sending or receiving emails, except to and from CASA. I have sent emails and private messages (through the forum) and I'm sure they were never received. I have not received any notifications from CASA for ages.

I don't understand all the technobabble in the Google link that Strident provided, but it sounds like you need to tweak the settings at the server end to abide by the new(ish) policy to stop both incoming and outgoing emails from looking like spam.

That does explain some things. I received some questions from persons and I sent an answer but they never read my answer. I also sent some private messages by myself and they were never read. I myself don’t use Gmail. Maybe we can do a test, Garry. I send you a private message and you respond if you receive. Likewise you send me a private message and I will respond if I receive it.

From my experiences of playing the administrator of another mailserver, I can confirm that since a couple of years, it has become gradually harder and harder to make Google accept mail from it still. They have everyone jump through so many hoops now, it seems clear they want e-mail to be handled between few mega corporations only - and everyone else out.
