A big public Thank You to AQH for helping me complete my giveaway to Varian. He had posted his e-mail address on the forums previously and volunteered to do it again so that Varian could contact him with his address and then he forwarded it on to me. Steve had my e-mail addy due to a giveaway that I had won from him back when the e-mail system still worked. A bit of a complicated way to complete the GAW, but it all worked out.
BTW, Steve, that fly reel I won in your GAW looks/works really good on the old 8' Cortland fly rod I mounted it on. Thanks again!

Not trying to argue here, just pointing out what's happening out here in the boonies.
Edit;
Okay, I just went in and checked my settings. E-mail was on. I shut it off and then back on just in case and then tried sending myself an e-mail. Nothin'.
Would others please check their settings and then send me a test message through the forums? Mebbe we can figure something out.
I'll re-check my settings, and will encourage everyone else to, but one day things worked fine for me and the next they wouldn't. Even Mark Christian reported having troubles with it.

Just sent you one again, remember I tried several times last month, but I attributed it then to possibly me being "across the pond" when I attempted to contact you.

I did the same when I figured out where to check the settings. I sent you and email through the system to see what happens.
I have always ha the ability to both send and receive and I personally have not made any type of change to any setting on my computer ..... but now I can not send or receive emails from other members.
I just checked my settings in "profile" and the current setting is "YES" to allow emails ........ so I don't know what the deal is unless there is another setting I don't know about.

I didn't get anything, from anyone, but thanks for trying!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
...I just tried sending myself an email...didn't work..would some of you folks try emailing me ?
It very well could be your ISP. Since the email is spoofing your address, but it is not coming from your ISP, it is coming from our server your server may reject it... I sent a test to one of my guys on gmail and he got it no problem..

I just sent you an email
He Steve is the best !
The way this software works is that it makes the email look like it came from your email... However if the receiving email server checks it can clearly see that your mail server did not send it. That is known as spoofing. Lots of spammers use this technique therefore many ISPs block emails that are not coming from the place that they say they are...
I just e-mailed half a dozen members (at least) on this thread. I am not on AOL,....I'll report back.[:)]
MSN probably does the same thing...

OK,...changed my forum e-mail to my Gmail address, and sent them again. I also mailed myself 5 minutes ago, and nothing yet.[;)]

Very likely. It is a common spam prevention technique. We get around it on the auction side, but that technique will not work here because this is now hosted in the cloud and not on our servers...
Almost everyone that is complaining about this is using AOL. MrMike check to make sure that your email is correct in the system, I know gmail works with this.

Nope, gmail doesn't work either. Changed my email to my gmail account and sent a test email. No email in my gmail, fail [:p]
Just sent one to you Capt.
The good Captain got my email fine.
And, I have Gmail.

So how can we fix it?
I used to get notes from other members all the time. Something is clearly wrong, but,.....whatever.
When are you coming down Cap'n?
Don't know yet. Both girls are in College and working as much as they can over break. It will be a very quick trip.
No responses to any of my mails, and the one I sent to myself never appeared. This was with my Gmail account.

You are looking in your spam bucket right?
