Hello, I've changed the way Star Army emails you. Basically, our host limits PHP mail() but we get unlimited SMTP mails. So I had to reconfigure the server to send via the SMTP method. It's been tested working and should be good now.
Note: People who were subscribed to get email notifications of replies probably didn't get them if the reply was from 9am to 10:30 am EST this morning due to the email configuration updates. They were a little tricky because of TLS settings.
Other changes: Full message text is now shown in conversation and reply emails. This is possibly temporary but I'm doing it to help us avoid spam filters. Make sure if Star Army emails end up in your junk folder, that you mark them as "not junk" or "not spam!"
Following this fix I'm re-enabling email validation for Star Army accounts, which was disabled because it used to be the case that during high-email-traffic hours, users were not getting their registration emails with the email activation link. So you will need a valid email from this point to join or to remain active.
Still working on automated handling of email bounces - in the future the plan is to deactivate accounts who have emails that don't work (causing the email to be bounced back). This will help fight spammers and keep us from sending email that's unwanted, and keep members from using fake/bad emails.
I'm also trying to apply this to the wiki, so that we can bring back change notification emails of watched pages and namespaces, so you guys can keep track of your wiki content better.
Thanks for your patience with this.
