Never mind. Although I still haven't tracked it down, tests indicate that PBW-sized attachments aren't getting through to my email account for some reason.

When did this happen? I've received a couple today, but that doesn't neccesarily mean the problem is on your end. We've had some wierd problems where emails stop for everybody in a specific game before. Is this happeneing in more than one game to you? Are others in the game having the problem?

Or could they be getting stuck in a bulk folder or something by your isp?

Last night and today.

Is this happeneing in more than one game to you?

Yes.

Are others in the game having the problem?

I don't know, but it seems like it's probably a problem with my email at or before the ISP because I tried sending myself two test emails from another account, one with a 500+KB PBW attachment, and one with no attachment, and only the one with no attachment showed up. So I think PBW is probably sending them to me, but they're just getting lost somehow.

Or could they be getting stuck in a bulk folder or something by your isp?

Or something, yes it's possible and seems most likely to me. I talked to my ISP tech support and they referred me to their two spam filters, which they are in the middle of tweaking and changing, but neither of them show that I have anything quarantined there... which is also a little odd since I usually get much more spam arriving in my email. Sounds like there's probably something else filtering my email into the ISP.

Cheers,

PvK

Hmm. Two turn emails did not arrive this morning. Seems to be a short gap of a couple hours from UTC 1600 to 1730. Could have started earlier but that's all I can confirm. I received turn emails before and after that time span.

Yeah, I didn't get an email on my first turn that ran today either. I've kicked it to see if I can get the emails working again. Let me know if it helps.

Ok, turns out the problem wasn't with the PBW server. We had some problems with our email server. I think it should be working now though.

Weather man is predicting freezing rain followed by heavy snows with accumulations from 3 to 6 inches tonight. It's not so bad that I expect to lose power or ISP connection, but the possibility is always there. In case the server drops offline tonight, that might be why.

Are auto turns turned off? I've got one game where the host had to manually force the turn the last two times, and another is 20 minutes past the deadline right now. Both of them are set to fully automatic turns.
