+vds Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I recently hid a new cache and have noticed that I am not getting any logs or notes related to the cache itself, nor the TBs that I placed inside. I have checked my spam+trash folders, and there's nothing in there from geocaching.com at all. Is there some new feature that disables these emails that I'm not aware of ? Quote Link to comment

Are you receiving any emails from Groundspeak? Did you receiver two or three emails after you submitted your new cache, saying that it was submitted and later published? As far as TBs, unless you own them or specifically add them to your watchlist, you do not get emails, even if they go in or out of your cache. Quote Link to comment
+vds Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) update - it seems any email from geocaching.com is not being forwarded by the forward-all rule I have at my ISP, although my other mail is. Weird. Edited March 20, 2014 by vds Quote Link to comment

Weird. more details - it seems geocaching.com is setting their SPF characteristic in their DNS records such that they don't want mail forwarded, which my ISP zealously honors. Ugh. Kind of kills the whole concept of a well-known central email address that you can forward to the site you want to really read your mail through. Quote Link to comment
