    Hi,
    I'm not getting email notifications. However I was told by the administrator that your emailer lacks a reverse DNS lookup and thus being rejected and they are not considering to make an exception for SS. Are you able to contact your hosting provider and have them add a PTR record?
    Is anyone else getting this problem?

    I also have the same problem. I have email notifications turned on but have not received a single one. Oh well saves my email inbox getting clogged up I guess.

    OK SS is pushing out emails directly to your email providers hosted service. Alot of providers will reject non-rDNS client requests. I don't know why they don't relay through a provider. My email hoster will not grant exceptions to SS as the method of allowing so opens them up to spammers (since spammers generally don't bother resolving their IP).
    Currenlty SS are pushing emails out via 27.131.78.210
    However:
    Host 210.78.131.27.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

    So imagine being able to push emails from your mobile IP or your ISP allocated dynamic IP DIRECTLY to email MTA? LOL...nope.

    Well good that it is rejected! More information about 27.131.78.210 shows very little. Who is responsible for 27.131.78.210..since it has access to all the PM that are passed around in SS.
    This is a problem. I'm sure it can be cleared up. But I find it odd that they would no use googles fairly reputable and secure AND FREE mx services.

    Ok nvm that IP is this server. Well they only need to setup a rDNS and emails will get through. If the administrator of the site wants to contact me I can let them know how to do it and even put them in contact with the person to actually do it LOL
