Solved linux.org forum mails seems to be delivered with a delay

Sorry @Rob...good effort, but no cigar.

Hmm ok, i'll keep looking.

I'm seeing in the server logs that you were sent a notification email from a conversation here on the forum from 5 mins ago. Also seeing that msg in sendgrid logs and that it was delivered to your email provider.

@Condobloke Check in the spam folder, just so that can be ruled out.

I am receiving the notifications re your message above.....but no email

I am receiving emails re pm's....but no others

Those emails are almost instantaneous

I receive my emails in Thunderbird, via gmail....nothing in junk or spam

I will check the webmail address for gmail

@Rob Do the mails being sent have the new DMARC requirements as that are now being applied by Gmail and Yahoo mailservers?

Understanding Gmail and Yahoo DMARC Requirements - dmarcian

Starting February, 2024, long established email authentication best practices—DMARC, SPF, DKIM—will become a requirement.

It would probably be helpful if others using Gmail verifiied if they are or aren't receiving the notification emails.

Can you double check your prefs and make sure that the right boxes are checked:

Yeah, i'm using gmail and receiving notifications ok. Also, I believe i'd see the bounce in sendgrid logs if the receiving provider didn't trust the flags.

@Condobloke just to be sure .. at the top of this thread, you're 'watching' it?

 

[Condobloke]

Yes...definitely

Click the 'and receive email notifications' there for content you interact with.

 

[Rob]

@Condobloke - so yours says 'unwatch' currently?

thats correct.....unwatch currently showing

 

[Rob]

Ok .. so because you had the 'and receive email notifications' unchecked originally in prefs, i'm thinking it'd just notify you with forum notifications and not email on content that you interacted with but didn't start.

If you click unwatch above to unwatch, then click 'watch' it'll ask if you want email notifications .. say yes.. then let's see if that resets this particular thread for you.

 

[Condobloke]

done

 

[Rob]

Ok, hopefully that fixed it.

 

[Condobloke]

Yes !!
