email notification down?

We changed the way we send mail, from using our internal server, to using Google's email server. The purpose of this was to add stability and reduce spam complaints. Apparently either there's a spam-filtering issue with the Google server, or there's a bug. So, I've changed things back for now. Email should be flowing again :)
 
thanks, Paul, Chris, Pacman and JT (who spent about 30mins the other night with me looking into my account being locked out..

FYI Paul, my initial email addy that wasn't getting the notifications to begin with was my gmail account, if that helps you out any :)

thanks, guys! :) if i were rich, i'd buy you guys Official TB Snuggies, but until then, thanks :D
 
Confirmed: Sorry guys, it's a spam issue. Email notifications not being received as of April 15th by many users confirmed. I'm working hard to fix this. A misconfiguration is causing many email providers (including gmail) to mark TB system messages as SPAM.

This should be resolved in a short while. Please whitelist "[email protected]" to fix this problem in the meantime.

The line that's causing spam ID is "Received-SPF: softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning [email protected] does not designate 208.81.240.78 as permitted sender" So I just need to get this fixed in our DNS record. ;)
