I'm a pretty simple guy with simple requests, and one of those requests is that the e-mail problem get sorted out so I can start receiving my daily forum updates again. The problem has impacted me for at least six months and I've tried three different e-mail addresses with different domains, none of them work.

Could this be a problem with my e-mail accounts? Possibly, but unlikely. Could this be an FT problem? Definitely.

There are clearly folks in this forum that are more technically savvy than me when it comes to understanding the intricacies of e-mail. But my view is quite simple, the forum update e-mails stopped working from one day to the next and at least six months later there still isn't a reasonable explanation of the actual issue. What are Dick and the tech team doing to fix this issue? Perhaps they could start posting in this thread to explain themselves? Moreover, who is accountable for the success of this website?

Perhaps this problem is too big for the Admins to handle and we should take this up with the people at IB or Hellman & Friedman directly...
