Personal email server? Hmmm.... Are you sure you don't mean a personal email client that interacts with a server hosted by your Internet provider?

If indeed you have a personal email server whose software hasn't been updated in eons, I would think that, by now, you would likely be having lots of problems with outgoing emails not getting delivered, due to being rejected by other email servers. Have you had such problems?
No, I haven't. Outgoing mail is delivered reliably and logged as such.Quote:
Yes indeed, it would imply a software update somewhere along the line, perhaps in an underlying library if not the server program itself.
Fortunately not everything in IT works in the somewhat messy way it tends to with Windows. 
It's not got "suddenly fussier" and even if it had, the reason for mail failing would be logged. I know what gets updated on my systems because I do the updates.

I have had no email notifications since updating my email and subscribing to a few threads that have been posted in. I always remember the notification system worked sporadically and would go months not working, then I'd get inundated with every thread I posted in

No, I haven't. Outgoing mail is delivered reliably and logged as such.Very interesting, and surprising to me. My partner's and my experience has been that we have sudden outgoing email issues about once every year or so, often (though not always) due to our client's system suddenly getting blacklisted (by the recipients' email/phone providers) for one reason or another, requiring us to jump through yet another hoop to get rid of the blacklist.

Fortunately not everything in IT works in the somewhat messy way it tends to with Windows. Our system does not use Windows. Even on Linux and FreeBSD, most open-source software depends on underlying libraries.

The sudden fussiness I am talking about is on the receivers' email servers (or SMS gateways), not ours.

The option in my account is now on, but I'm not pre-checked for "notify me".
Just checked email and don't see any notifications although I haven't posted much.
I'll drunk-post and see if that helps.

I expect your email servers need updating...
