Is anyone else not getting email notifications for subscribed threads? I’ve checked my junk mail and there isn’t anything in there. I also changed my email to another provider because of an issue on another forum where emails were getting blocked my Microsoft servers.
 
Yea, another forum I'm on can't send emails to Microsoft servers (e.g. hotmail), nor AT&T servers (SBCGlobal, PacBell, etc.).
 
Is anyone else failing to receive email notifications?

Yes. I needed to go outside of this system and use my email account to correspond with another member. Also, the PM's only worked sporadically. Sorry for the bad news. :(
 
OK, I changed the email sending options, and email notification delivery now seems to work.

Can some other folks give it a try?

No idea if that is the same issue, but I had forgotten my password and tried frantically to get my password reset.
None of the password reset mails arrived.
I had a look at my mail server's log, apparently there's something severely borked with your mail system:

Code:
2021-07-22 17:33:40 H=www.vcfed.org (ip-172-31-70-85.ec2.internal) [54.236.142.0] sender verify fail for <apache@ip-172-31-70-85.ec2.internal>: Unrouteable address
2021-07-22 17:33:40 H=www.vcfed.org (ip-172-31-70-85.ec2.internal) [54.236.142.0] X=TLS1.3:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 CV=no F=<apache@ip-172-31-70-85.ec2.internal> rejected RCPT <[REDACTED]>: Sender verify failed

It's using some internal domain that is not resolvable.
The mails only arrived after I did a hard whitelist for your server's IP.
