We need your help whitelisting mixter@artistechmedia.com — so you’ll receive remix notifications, secret mixter assignments, etc.

Because we recently upgraded our server and had a DNS change, we need you to re-add mixter@artistechmedia.com to your email contact book as some email servers may not recognize this email address we use for all ccMixter correspondence and are not letting them through.

I did. I use gmail. I opened up google contacts and added mixter@artistechmedia.com to the list. before I did this the e-mails were being sent to my spam folder. I think it’s working now!

I also use gmail and all the emails from artistechmedia have been coming through fine. I just checked the spam folder to confirm this and there was only one thing there. Interestingly, it was from your (spinningmerkaba’s) gmail address (dated April 2nd).

FYI

I use Outlook. I have not received any notification mail after the introduction of the new server even in spam folder. I remember the same thing happened to me in 2013.

Anyway, I’ve added mixter@artistechmedia.com to my Safe Senders List and watching.

I use AOL mail. I added the address to my contacts. I have not gotten any of the notice mail since the change to the new server, so I hope the whitelisting helps.

Hi, Emily, I’m not sure we’re quite there yet.

I’ve been whitelisting as suggested here—that is, adding mixter@artistechmedia.com to all my email clients. I use several:

— Thunderbird on Mac OSX Sierra
— Default email apk on Android
— Webmail interface to my GoDaddy host account

What some users may not be aware of is these instructions are for clients. They do not necessarily disable server-side spam filtering. For example, my GoDaddy host email has a spam filter with its own whitelist separate from the address book; this enables their “Bulk” filtering feature, among others.

— I’ve added mixter@artistechmedia.com there, too.

I also relay all my GoDaddy mail to an ATT domain account as a safety measure and to check for random filtering behaviors and forwarding failures, and for archiving. So I’ve whitelisted mixter@artistechmedia.com on that account, too.

Nonetheless, since March 29 I have observed several things:

— No remix or review notifications
— No secret-mixter assignment email April 8
— But I DID receive email from Jason “mixter@artistechmedia.com” April 10.
That was in response to a web-form request to re-send my assignment.

This last one is odd. I did not whitelist mixter@artistechmedia.com explicitly until after April 10, yet received email from the domain just fine.

Meanwhile, we just had a notifications-fest yesterday thanks to the secret mixter and…not a peep. Not one mail.

It suggests there may still be an issue on the ccMixter host side. Either the emails aren’t being sent—maybe due to stale or unpopulated address lists after the move—or they’re bouncing, in which case you should be seeing bounce notifications coming back from recipients’ host systems in logs at the host end. And this may be triggering automated host-side policy behaviors like mailing list or outbound address suppression (GoDaddy, for example, has articles on this in their email marketing materials).

I wish I had more expertise but I don’t. I’m just a bit concerned whitelisting may be only part of the problem.

Anyway, one way to test is for someone on mixter@artistechmedia.com to send me another email using the address on file. If it gets through, that suggests my profile is OK and individual emails work, and maybe a look at the email marketing mechanism is in order…

And actually, now that I inspect Jason’s raw message:

— Sender: xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com
— From: mixter@artistechmedia.com

So that explains that—it was actually sent using Gmail, not from artistechmedia.com. I will see whether I can find GoDaddy’s filter logs but I’m sure even if I do the trace is long gone by now.

After another 24 hours of no joy, I have switched my ccMixter contact email to my Gmail account. I’ve whitelisted mixter@artistechmedia.com there. I will let you know what happens.

Thank you for your feedback and assistance. We’re working behind the scenes to try to fix this, with some frustration. So feedback and input is greatly appreciated!!!

Well, switching my profile to send to my Gmail address worked as a stopgap. I am now receiving notifications.

I forwarded a separate mail with some excerpts from raw email text for review. There are some SPF artifacts that may tell an expert something.

Since that mail was a reply to mixter@artistechmedia.com, I will follow up with a copy using the usual web form, in case it didn’t make it the first time.
