... had this issue (YaBMods) ...
I have this same issue with YaBB's BoardMod forum as well as its main forum, although people have joked with me that they think it's deliberate, i.e., it is
not a YaBB problem.
I have no problem getting email notifications from this forum. If it helps, I should point out that I wasn't getting notifications for this topic, but as it turned out, I didn't actually have it turned on, i.e.,
my bad.
From my perspective, I think the blocking of YaBB's email notifications is due to the way various hosts deal with automated forum messages, particularly as they are associated with certain domains for whatever reasons;
not the forum's software. At least that's been my experience as I've tested my thinking on this.
As such, what's pretty much always worked for me, and members in our forum who've been affected by this is to use an alternative email address specifically for forums that is forwarded to a preferred email address. This can be
hit and miss depending on what email service is used. But once it's successfully set up, you're good to go, and email notifications can be enjoyed.
