Not receiving email alerts

Hi guys/girls, I'm having issue with not receiving any email alerts at all. The problem started today and I did not change any settings at all, here on SD nor on my email account. I've checked the settings on both sides and I can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks

Same here. My last deal alert email was 3:09 AM EDT June 7.

Maybe that's part of the reason I got so much work done yesterday.

I just realized that GMail decided to start sending my Deal Alerts to Spam. This has happened to me before. I just created a filter for messages from "noreply@slickdeals.net" and checked "Never mark it as Spam". That should fix it for good!

That is exactly what happened to my email. Thanks for confirming. I thought I accidently mark it as spam.

Gmail says it's because other users have indicated phishing attempts from similar emails. I found at least a dozen instant alerts that ended up in spam, including that XBL 12 month deal that's FP.

Mine stopped yesterday too, but they are not in my spam folder.................

edit: nevermind, it was.

Thanks, folks. Mine were in my spam folder too. Should have looked there first instead of spending the last 20 minutes trying to figure out what the heck was going on...

I wonder if SD can somehow alert Google that their emails really aren't spam? That's got to be brutal to have all your emails to every gmail user all getting trashed simultaneously...

If you mark the alerts in your Gmail Spam folder as "Not Spam", Gmail may display a pop-up asking you to send the messages to the anti-spam team to improve their spam filter. Presumably if enough people do this that may fix it. Although they should never have allowed this issue in the first place. People get phishing emails that purport to be from Amazon, too - are Amazon emails next for the spam bin?

Smartest guys in the room? Need a bigger room.

Mine were being directed to spam, I knew something was up when I didn't see a deal alert for a few hours.

Same here. Thanks, man, for your tip - repped for winning the shortest tutorial contest!

My deal alerts also stopped on June 6-7. They were NOT in my SPAM folder. They were not in my Trash folder. I simply was not receiving them anymore.

Then the light dawned as to why. I have several email accounts and forward mail to my central gmail account.

One of the forwarding accounts is the one I use here on slickdeals.net. And it had started routing all my deal alerts to SPAM. Mail messages routed to SPAM in the forwarding account will never be forwarded.

So, if you are using mail forwarding, make sure the addresses from which you are forwarding are not routing the alerts to SPAM, or the forwarding account will never forward them.

The same thing happened to me. I was wondering why I hadn't received any email alerts lately.

So I checked my spam but saw nothing there.
Then I read fymfaholes message and found out why.

So thanks!

Glad everyone solved this mystery. It was certainly weird not receiving any deal alerts for several hours. It almost felt like waking up from a coma and everyone disappeared.

Same here, were in my Gmail spam folder.

I knew yesterday was too quiet on SD!
