Stopped getting e-mail notifications of new posts

[KeithL]

I have stopped receiving email notifications about new posts. The last one I had seems to have been the evening of 2nd September.

Can someone take a look please.

It’s comforting to know it’s not just me. I thought I messed something up or was put on the bad boy list.

I should have posted earlier. The last two notifications in my list have come through on e-mail.

And the notifications have stopped again. Last one I received was 10:07 19th Oct.

I've encountered this about 3 times in the last 18 years or so.
I don't understand the technicalities of it, but apparently it happens because of the way many Internet Providers use 'dynamic IP allocation'. So occasionally they can switch you to an IP that has a history of being used by a Spammer; so you end up being blocked by websites or email servers that think you're the Spammer.
Powering down your Router and letting it restart will often result in it selecting a fresh Dynamic IP, clearing the Block.

I am still getting e-mail notifications but few and far between because I only have it enabled for a few selected threads. I had an e-mail notification yesterday. My ISP uses static IP addresses and even if you power down the router for weeks it does not reassign a new IP address.
