Weird emails about PMs

I keep getting emails from the site saying `New Personal Message` only when I click on the link in the email it directs me to messages that were sent to me months ago.  Anybody else having this? 

Ironically when I actually get a new PM, I do not receive an email notification most of the time (though sometimes I do, its very inconsistent). 

Not a big deal but I was curious if I am the only one experiencing this.

I can't explain why you'd receive messages for old PMs.  I wouldn't be surprised by a small delay (a couple of days), but months-old emails are surprising.

As for why you usually don't receive messages for new PMs, that's probably because Hotmail hates our email server.

I got a weird one too ;D

QuoteYou have just been sent a personal message by *** on Famicom World.

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

The message they sent you was:



Reply to this Personal Message here: (...)


The message wasn't empty on FW.

That is a weird one.  I may try changing some mailing settings this weekend.

gmail still thinks that the email messages i receive about pm's are spam : (
I am back everyone :)

Does Gmail not have some sort of white list or allow list? Rarely I will get a message about a PM. Usually I don't get anything. I'm using hotmail.

UglyJoe

Do you get that message for every PM?

That's actually GMail's phishing warning, which I suspect may get triggered by emails asking for you name / address / etc.

I added it to the "white list" so no worries but it was  for every pm :(
