perhpas jsut the inactive posters will disapper along with a lot of DLs... not that most Dls dont hav evalid email addresses too as most of us have multiple email adreeses nowadays...

[Skanky Burns]

How is testing for inactive email addresses done? If someone has set up their profile such that Poly doesn't send any emails to them automatically, would their inactive email address theoretically not be noticed?

I mean that I receive mails in the main folder (the inbox) of my hotmail account, but also some of them are send to the junk box.

I have realised that it happens just with the threads in the Spanish PEBM Sub-Forum. No other threads from elsewere is affected by this.

Please, fix it or tell me what to do.

Thanks for your support

i dont think there is anything i can do....

I have been regularly receiving email thread updates, but around 3pm yesterday they stopped coming...about 33 hours now. My listed addy in the profile has always been correct; and, I haven't changed anything.

Can anyone explain this?? I miss my updates (and the elephant sound-from the game-that they make arriving ).

The feature intermittently stops working for no discernible reason. I've seen it lots of times. 33 hours is quite long though.

If you are using yahoo/msn you can configure the SPAM-settings. But it has nothing to do with Polly. This time they are innocent

If you click on the Bulk-folder, it shall open it and you shall see somewhere the settings option, you can actually switch the SPAM-guard off all the way.

If you need more help, let me know.

[MarkG]

see if you make emails from certain adresses always be marked as non-spam....

That may or not be true, I dont know (since I never checked email at that address - and now it's dead)

What I have seen is that I receive spam with words in the subject that can only have been gleaned from my posts here at poly.

The interesting thing is that I get that type of spam at my home (ISP) address.

well given that you have not entered your isp address in your profile, please tell me how you find it possible that we are relared to your spam

[Gilgamensch]

I never received any SPAM because of posting here, but maybe you once posted your e-mail address in a forum and this might have been picked up and now you are getting spammed. I heard that there are programs around, which search the web for addresses and the spam the user.
