The System Ate My Pqs

[+fizzymagic]

Last night, I generated 5 brand-new PQs. They all ran right away, but the emails never arrived. I thought perhaps there might be some problem with my email provider (which is highly unlikely) so I generated another PQ today, which came right away. So apparently my PQs got eaten in the email queue last night.

 

Has this ever happened to anybody else?

I'm happy to say that it has not happened to me (yet).

I had one that my email server shunted to spam file. I was able to retrieve it. Don't have any idea why that one time it went that way.

 

Edit to add: It was zipped.

I had that happen last week. The PQs didn't get completely "eaten," but it did take a few hours for them to arrive . . . even though they ran right away.

Has this ever happened to anybody else?

 

yup. a couple times.

yes...and even entering an alternate email address did not alleviate the problem.

 

if it happens again, I will pursue it, but I found a work around last time.

My PQs from last Friday showed up in my inbox today. Close inspection of the headers reveals that it was my MTA that was the problem, not the servers here.

Set four PQs earlier, they all say they ran but one didn't come through. I'll have to wait and see if it turns up. Don't understand why there'd be a problem with one out of the four.
