Well, I still don’t know what exactly is causing my email notifications not to work, other than (according to users at the MT support forum<\/a>) it’s related to upgrading to Movable Type 3.15. I’ve been unable to get any info on how I can fix it or when a new release is coming out. So, in the mean time I’ve come up with a work around. Since I’m still getting the notifications, I set up my email program at home to automatically forward them to my notification list.
\nHopefully Six Apart<\/a> will have a solution soon.
\nUPDATE<\/strong>: Well, it only took about 30 seconds to figure out the problems with that system.
\nFirst, in order to BCC the list (and not broadcast everyone’s email address) I had to use an Outlook template. Well, that stripped all the relevant info about the post out, leaving a blank message.
\nSecond, the rule could only be set up to reply<\/em> with a template, which meant that I received another copy of the notice. That triggered a second<\/em> reply to my list which I would have also gotten, triggering another reply … I shut off the perpetual email machine before I annoyed the heck out of my faithful readers.
\nSorry, I tried.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
