Email notification - broken?

I'm not getting email notifications of posts to my subscribed threads.  I checked my spam box, and settings on my account here, and everything should be working.

Brett,

Have you set "Enable Email Notifications of forum/thread subscriptions and replies to my posts" to yes under the email tab for user setting?

I set that when I signed up. 

This morning, I just received ALL notifications to all threads since I"ve signed up..however many that is...  blackberry is going nuts! haha.

fwiw, I just added a batch process to the server to restart the mail gateway twice a day, whether it needs it or not. So worst case now is that the email service could be down for 11 hours, 59 minutes.

Realistically that won't be the case though, since the failure scenario has to do with the server rebooting. The CS dev guys tell me it will be fixed in CS 2.1 when that comes out. In the meantime, my recurring batch file should provide a workable interrim solution.
