That email domain changed to a different server a week or more ago and mailstorm must be late with their DNS. I will delete your post after you have seen my repsonse.

It's a known issue...

Been plaguing us for quite some time now, where CNET randomly bounces mod alerts back to the sender. Still no fix in sight, but Lee assures us he won't go fishing until it's resolved. Wink

check their email addresses? One would think that if they were supposed to get alerts that they would keep a valid email address updated. Just wondering, it's not the first time this has happened with other mod alerts.

I know!!! Dock'em a days pay!! Cool

Worse than that...

It's affecting you more than most, but I'm seeing emails bounce regardless of which mod's to receive them. Including those with CNET email addys - I doubt they forgot to update DNS for themselves. Plain

It's not old, unchecked email addresses, it's some kind of glitch on CNET's end.

Nothing I can do about this John

Only place in the world that has problems with this is Mailstorm, whoever that is. I am getting all my email from all my other forums, all my newsletters and everything else. I am also getting the majority of ROP's from everyone at CNET including myself. I am too busy with real life stuff to worry about alerts from CNET anyway.
