One of my moderators put together a post for forum members to understand they need to set up their mail accounts to flag our forums mail as not spam. It might be useful for others here to know and put on your forums;
E-mail notifications help.
How to get around the spam and junk mail filters.
Many members of this world wide family use email accounts provided by some Internet Service Providers such as Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo. The notification email, that is the one that tells you someone has posted a reply to a topic you have contributed to, or that you have received a PM is sometimes being treated as spam, or junk mail so you may or may not be getting your notifications. Here is a short guide for some of the more popular email accounts on how to insure this does not happen.
Hotmail
Login to your email account as you would do normally.
In the Light blue bar at the top, just below the dark blue bar on the right hand side there is a link “Options” click on this.
On the options page under “Junk Mail” click on “Safe and blocked senders”.
On the next page click on “Safe Senders”.
In the box below “Sender or domain to mark as safe: ” type yourdomainname.com and click the “Add to List” button.
That’s it done.
Gmail
Login to your email account as you would do normally.
Check you “spam” folder, if there are any mails from the goldwingfacts forum click on it and then click the “not spam” button.
You’re done.
Yahoo
In Yahoo mail it appears you have to state that spam mail is “spam” so you should be ok, if anyone knows different please let me know and I will amend this
