Most email being sent from the C-Brat web site to Netzero email addresses is never making it. Netzero is blocking these emails for unknown reasons - they have been notified.

These emails include:

- Account activation emails

- Topic notifications

- PM notifications

- Emails sent via this site from other members

While I can forward these bounced emails to the affected folks through my personal ISP, and they will go through, there are too many of them for me to address in this manner. I'll try and forward the more important ones - account activations and emails sent from other members.

Unfortunately, the only permanent fix is to use a free email provider whose SPAM blocking techniques are not so aggressive. Currently, both MSN/Hotmail and Yahoo users seem to receive email fine. Also, Google's GMail seems to handle them fine, although it's not yet publically available. Several of us still have GMail invitations though, if any of you want to try this route.
