Just forwarded to your email address the original Hotmail bounce message sent to by forum software.

I've used my private (not LAF email address) this time so very hope you will receive it. Let me know if not. Thanks!

The mails I get about the LPL rounds being up are empty, no content, all other notifications work as normal. I don't use hotmail.

Doc, received the email - many thanks. I've sent you the response from MS, they are requesting you fill in an online form to remove the block, link is in the email.

Thx

Sterling

What link? The only link in the bounce email is to the page with a list of errors. Or did they provide another link?

I think I may have sent you the same thing last week. Did it also have a link?

This just started happening to me as well. Running Gmail on Firefox.

What is the world coming to? I lost all notifications from The Guild about two years back and now this creeping "security cancer" has begun to impact my beloved LAF...

I think it may be the same one I included earlier:

What you need to do now is to contact your Domain administrator to get in touch with Outlook.com Sender Support and fill-out the form on this link.

Ok, got it, thanks. The report sent. Will keep you posted.

Something has happened. My notification emails have returned.

So whatever whoever has done it worked.

Mr Papafakis · « **Reply #40 on:** April 12, 2017, 04:19:46 PM »

Yeah, I just got an email notification too. Hope it's fixed for good

Thanks for fixing it Mods

I'm also happy to report that I just got my first email notification in a month, about this very topic, aptly enough.

many thanks to Prof and all those who helped.

The Prof will put in a more detailed update on the situation as soon as time permits - apparently, we were blacklisted by Microsoft, due - apparently - to the amount of mails going out to Microsoft-operated mail services.

It could help if members reduced the notifications sent out to the necessary minimum, e.g. by deactivating thread subscriptions. I know it is an unsatisfactory solution, and we will take steps on our side as well, but it might be the most effective way to avoid future blacklisting.

Prof.Witchheimer · « **Reply #43 on:** April 12, 2017, 06:35:08 PM »

Well, I've contacted them and the reply from their support is "Our investigation has determined that the above IP(s) qualify for conditional mitigation. These IP(s) have been unblocked, but may be subject to low daily email limits until they have established a good reputation."

There is lot of emails being sent by LAF daily, PMs, thread notifications, newsletters. I don't undertstand why they just block a domain without checking the content or talking to the owner but they did. Let's hope it's over. If you stop to receive emails again, let us know.

beefcake · « **Reply #44 on:** April 12, 2017, 06:59:53 PM »

Yes it is strange. I would have thought they would only look into these domains if they received complaints about it. For a company like Microsoft I'm sure writing code for that would be a simple matter.
Thanks prof for getting this sorted.
