I thought I just might mention that those mails currently are nonexistent ;-)

Maybe the sendmail deamon died. I just restarted it.

I still do not get any nots for comments :-(

Am I the only one ? (could be some not-installed-by-me-but-by-my-provider spamfilter ;-) )

Well, I would miss the e-mail notifications if I weren't sitting on the server all the time. In those rare times that I get busy with something outside of Arimaa, I can't follow all the comments on every game, and then it is nice to know when my own games have been commented on.

well ... they disappeared quite some time ago ;-)

Unfortunately we use the comments also to inform people about things because we assume they read them (which would be far more likely if they get mails instead of checking commented games all the time)

Since I do the checking daily anyway I actually do not miss the feature ... but I think it was useful.

Hopefully it should be working again. I think the problem was intorduced by me when I modified the script so that it would not take so long to send the mail. I had noticed that people were going back and submitting the page again because it was taking a long time; thus causing the same comments to be posted twice.
