• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

I talked with Biigoh and he said I should invite ultima333, alethiophile and tehelgee.

So, yesterday around 10 PM I stoped receiving any emails from my notification even though I did not change my configurations.

I can still see any update threads by going to the watched threads option but I have not been receiving the automatic emails I used to get.

And yes, I did check my spam box but no sign of them being semt there.

Sorry for the incovinience and thanks in advance.
 
I'm in the same boat. I came here because I realized that I had alerts pop-up for a few threads without having gotten the mail, even in the spam folder. So, in case it help, I use Thunderbird and an MSN e-mail address.

It's not that bad, not as if there were pages that didn't load, I can just keep a page open to regularly check for an update until it's corrected.

And since I'm here anyway, thanks for the work you all put in this forum.
 
I have the same problem. Last notification in my mail is from monday, around 8:30 pm. I use a hotmail e-mail address.
 
Same, problem
Also hotmail
SB and SV are working fine for the same email address
 
Aren't Hotmail and Outlook the same thing nowadays.
 
It looks like our server was somehow added to a major spam blacklist, which is causing a lot of E-mail services to reject us.

Working on it.
 
I've had the same issue since yesterday morning, maybe longer. just found all the emails in spam.
 
hello, i have also the same problems, i dont even have the emails in a spam or anything, they just dont show up anywhere.
 
Email notifications are back up again. Thanks for the hard work guys.
 
Same here, just got a notification about this thread.
 
I just realized I haven't received an email notification since Dec 14th. I use Outlook if that helps out any.
 
Same boat.
I use hotmail and haven't received any notofications the past few days.
 
The spam people are being very annoying. Currently unclear when the problem will be resolved.

If you can't do without emails, it currently seems like our mail is going to gmail mailboxes just fine; you could make a temporary address there and set it to your QQ address.

Not going to lie, I will be happy when this problem is solved, but I can easily get by by checked my watched thread once or twice a day. But my curiosity push me to ask, if you're willing to answer: What reason did they give for blacklisting QQ? And why and how are they being very annoying?

They gave no reason, and that's what's annoying. They just have a FAQ with a laundry list of "potential issues" most of which we verifiably don't have, and refuse to provide any details about which of them is causing the problem for us, or what messages they object to. I've requested removal twice (it's an automated process), and each time they put the removal through and then we're back on the list within hours.

There is actually a reason for this -- they want to avoid giving actual spammers an easy way to avoid their heuristics and get through the filter. But that doesn't make it less annoying.
 
Just switched to a Gmail account and the confirmation email went straight to spam. At least the email arrived in this instance but still concerning.

Signup for https://sendersupport.olc.protection.outlook.com/snds/ This lets QQ get feedback on IP reputation health.

Finding Complaint Feedback Loops is a pain; but this is a good start;
https://wiki.asrg.sp.am/wiki/Feedback_loop_links_for_some_email_providers

You can also use mxtoolbox to investigate some email issues;

https://mxtoolbox.com/emailhealth/questionablequesting.com/

Yes, not having an mx record for inbound email when you are sending outbound email is a spam signal.

Don't try to request a de-listing without first trying to understand why you got added to it, these services will quickly blacklist you from delisting if repeatedly done!

For what it's worth I use Gmail and I haven't received an email since December 14.
 
Hey there, is there any news about the issues? Or are we in the same situation as before?
