+Buildingblocks Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I ran a PQ that looked great on preview and shows that it was sent, but there is no sign of it in my email box. I then rechecked my info, including my email addy, and it was OK- and a second PQ did the same thing the next day. What the heck am I doing wrong? Link to comment
+Caching Scout Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 What servive are you using for your e-mail address? Some filter Groundspeak because of the volume they send. Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 ... What the heck am I doing wrong? Your not using a gmail account for your Groundspeak emails. Seriously - many ISPs and email providers block or throttle the rate at which they accept email from small servers like Groundspeak. They messages are not going to Junk folders or spam boxes. They never get far enough to do that. Some corporate firewalls and servers do that as well. Could also be software right on your local PC doing some blocking. Best bet is use gmail as that works well. Link to comment
+Buildingblocks Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Yipes! I use yahoo, and haven't had a problem with anything being bounced in the ten years I've had the account. Has anyone heared of a problem with them?

+StarBrand Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yipes! I use yahoo, and haven't had a problem with anything being bounced in the ten years I've had the account. Has anyone heared of a problem with them? Frequently. I run some small email servers and they find reasons to not accept email from you unless you apply thier rules. Also have read many times about how they block certain mails from geocaching. Link to comment
+Buildingblocks Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Well, I went ahead and openned a gmail account and changed my account details/default email. Should be 'problem solved'! Thanks so much, all! Link to comment
