[Solved] Notification emails from forum.porteus.org went to spam
Posted: 27 Sep 2023, 19:26
by Rava
Once more it happened, since approx 2 days ago: I receive no longer any notification emails from forum.porteus.org - nor for new posts in watched threads nor for received PMs.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I presume that my email provider got moved to a blacklist?
Or what could cause the issue?
Once more: No notification emails from forum.porteus.org

or that porteus email sender(ie. info@porteusdotorg
via ublazedotru) got put on a blacklist that your email provider is using.
fwiw, my gmail is still receiving alerts.

How does one figure that out?
Are there forums or mailing lists discussing the issues due to such blacklists?

Just realized (cause I am obviously dumb and not looked there previously) - all notification emails are put into the spam folder since 26.09.2023
This one

Topic reply notification - "Linux Basics --For those new (or relatively new) to Linux"
the 1st to land in the spam folder. Arggghhhhh. But my email service is free and I not plan to pay for that ever (they offer a paid premium service, but that sucks the same way as does the free service, only that you get a non helpful hotline added) therefore I have no rights to complain.
Like the sayings go in German "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." (The German version rhymes)

Does your email service allow you to remove sites from their blacklist? Is their blacklist for all clients or does each user have one?

It seems to have been not an issue with my email provider,, but all of a sudden interlink decided to assume the Porteus notification emails are spam. and when i told it one Porteus notification emails is No Spam, interlink changed its tune and all Porteus notification emails are put into the normal inbox..
sorry for not realizing that detail earlier.

Each user has a personal whitelist and personal blacklist.
My blacklist is almost 95% capacity, while my whitelist is at only 5% capacity. Damn spammers.
