I have sent a new email after resolving a couple of issues with our old hosting service who were still retaining the email address of this domain (though how is beyond my understanding).
Please let me know if you do, or do not receive this email.
Thanks!

Message recieved, Cap'n!
no message received here. I double checked my email address on my profile and it is right. Could it be because it goes through AOL?
If your email is @aol.com or @aol.co.uk I will not be able to send you emails as AOL use a method for their emails where they do a reverse lookup on the DNS. As most ISP's do not allow reverse lookups AOL will then block any emails sent from them.
In short, AOL sucks.

Naughty AOL. Presumably it's an anti-spam measure, that's doomed to block things that are not spam?
I got both emails.
Yep its a silly measure put in place most likely by those who do not follow current trends in technology, even the company I work for cannot send emails to their aol clients because Pipex do not allow reverse lookups.
Did not get any e-mail. Though I did get the one the other day when I needed the new password sent. Hope that helps!

I got two letters close enough together for me to think, "Hmmm, two letters, close together, and second one says it's a second one."
Beyond that, you'll have to wait for my brain to unfry.

Hmmm. I've never seen anything unfry. I've fried a lot of things. Or is unfrying when you stick something in either the deep-frier or frying pan and all the batter comes off, leaving you with nothing but a greasy remnant of what you were trying to fry?

In which case, Cep'll be waiting for a long time for more coherence.

Does he really ever expect coherence from us? Not thinking very rationally himself, if he does. 
Checked again I did not see any e-mail.
Well hmmm, do you use hotmail? I think they recently released a spam messager (sends an email reply back to senders which then have to verify they are real). Or if its hotmail it could be a full mail box.
I havent got any bad mail reports yet though. Will check with host to see whats going on.

It could be that it's going to junk mail folders. I wouldn't know, though, because I add any mailing lists I'm on to the contact list immediately. E-mail is such a pain at times.
I use hotmail for most of my emails and such and whether I received your first email, I can't rmember, but did see your second email this morning. 
Darn so I am destined never to know when the board is back up via email

You could try getting another email address, such as yahoo.co.uk? Yahoo email seems reasonably reliable and doesn't automatically fill up with spam like some other free email accounts.
I have to agree with md on this one, yahoo is a great free email service imo.

I have hotmail and it fills up with spam faster than the Condor can fire a bird missile.

I'm told that hotmail gets spam as soon as you register it and before you've even used it.

Well, I signed up years and years ago, so I don't know. But I would not be surprised.

I've got a couple of hotmail accounts, and they're clean. But, if something comes in and Hotmail considers it junk, you've got 3 days to reclassify it before it ever-so-helpfully deletes it for you, forever.
Must have had a brain fart. I did what was suggested in the messages above and I did find it in my junk folder. HOW dare they think Gatch mail is junk 
I ought to wrestle them with my sumo guy for that.

I wonder how many people that happened to.
If they check the address of the old portal, they'll just get a 404. Maybe there could be a re-direct from that link?

Yep, redirect link would be good, if doable.
Me, when betaing things I like enough to want to be perfect: 
Gatchgirl, have you set your hotmail spam settings to allow as much through as it can? The Options link is hidden at the top right (at least the way it comes up for me), then Mail on the left, and it's the first one.

hmm, the old link used to point to a portal file which no longer exists, I could set a dummy file up as a temporarily fix 
I haven't done that Cricket Beautiful but I have labeled it as non junkmail with them. Hope that works!
Originally posted by Elvin Ruler I have hotmail and it fills up with spam faster than the Condor can fire a bird missile.I have set my hotmail account to get rid of all the spam now. When I first had it I didn't know about the setting and had at least 4 pages of mostly spam. I have also set it up so that any messages from the poeple I know eg this site, faimily, friends, etc then they will automatically go to whatever folders I have set up. Any spam or any emails I don't know, then that gets blocked and delted. I do this on my Supanet and Yahoo emial accounts.

Think I will ad some important notes to the Registration section of this site warning about Hotmail and AOL accounts.
As long as they allow your e-mails then hotmail not too bad but I would hate for them to miss out on returning if the site has to go down or something. So a warning might be a good idea! 
I got an email in early march (I think) in my yahoo account, but that was it.
Well no matter as long as your here Ashke baby thats what counts 
AWWWW! How sweet! Most people usually want me to go away.
