It works for private messages but not for forum threads.
I have "instant notification" option. Checked spam folders: nothing there.
This continues about 2..4 months.

Is anyone looking into this or should come to terms with that this isn't working?

Those never worked for me, I was getting only some random notifications every ~few months. That's why I use RSS feeds.

Hmm, there is something wrong with the emails from the forum, it seems that noone is getting any mails whatsoever. I'm currently investigating.

Found the problem and corrected it. We should now be back to where we've been the last year or so. Regarding the "instant notification" I have to get back to you..

Nice, since I switched all my notifications to daily notification, I should at least get daily updates.
Thanks!

Sadly some providers wont accept mail from hosts without a reverse DNS and since I can't get one it will not work unless we use some paid service. Luckily there arent many of them around, so far I've identified three (t-online.de, bigpond.com, gmx.net).
The bigger ones, like gmail and hotmail, as well as *many* others accepts mail from 'non-reverseble-IPs' if they are correct and uses SPF and DKIM.
In your case GCRaistlin, since you use gmail, I don't know why you don't receive them. In the maillogs I can see that they are delivered to gmail:
(Apr 4 00:08:04 hp400 postfix/smtp[150592]: 2B0112002003: to=<XXXXXX@gmail.com>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.131.26]:25, delay=1.3, delays=0.01/0.06/0.38/0.8, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1712182084 h14-20020a05651211ce00b00516c882b6d6si95148lfr.615 - gsmtp))

GMail is notoriously paranoid and manic depressive what comes to incoming email. I get the notification emails all right, but I have a forwarding email address whose messages just disappear into thin air sometimes. Sometimes the exact same message comes through without any issues.

Email notifications are back since I wrote my last post. Before that, there were no notifications for almost a month:
https://i123.fastpic.org/thumb/2024/0407/72/211cd0f52985450b1d13eefc3c16d372.jpeg (https://fastpic.org/view/123/2024/0407/211cd0f52985450b1d13eefc3c16d372.jpg.html)
I didn't visit the forum for a long time before that (for more than a month).

Good, we'll close this then.
And, I might have found a way to send mails to the domains I talked about (t-online.de, bigpond.com, gmx.net) by relaying just those to a free smtprelay by using postfix transport. Let's see if this works. The reason I can't use that relay for all mails is just that we're sending too many mails per month to use the free plan.

The same issue again: if I don't visit the forum for a long time (I believe for 21 days) notifications stop. My last visit was 2024-04-07, the last notification I received was from 2024-04-28.

At the present moment, notifications are being sent once per day, regardless of what the notification mode is really set to ("Instant" in my case).
