Reminder on replying to PM's
« on: February 10, 2022, 10:58:33 AM »
I just went through the admin email and spam folder to clean things up.  One thing I noticed is that there were many (>30) email replies to the admin@sks-files .com email address from PM (personal message) notifications.  This occurs when you receive an email from the server notifying you that you have a PM within the site and displaying the contents of the PM in the email.  Unfortunately, hitting 'reply' in the email does not reply to the original sender of the PM, it instead replies to the admin email on the server.  We only check the admin email a few times a month, and this is the first time I've checked the spam folder in years!!  As such it's essentially a black hole. 

The moral of this post: Don't reply to PM notification emails using an email.  It will go to the admin spam folder and your intended recipient will not get the message. (and deals can fall through or feelings hurt if someone thinks you're ignoring them).  thumb1
