Because books.

Same here -- I just checked.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Amy & Kate P. -- Both your votes were received.

Gmail does give me that warning "This message may not have been sent by:joeshmoe@gmail.com" for all gmail using buffistas. which makes sense, since I'm using a script to force the return address to be the voting buffista's addy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We should be able to make the from address not be the user. I can look at that later.

Oh, yeah, I can make the from field whatever I want. I've always had it be the user because that made intuitive sense to me (the user is being cc'ed on an email that they sent to votes@...).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Also worth noting that I've been getting all my gmail hours after it was sent today (as much as 6-7 hours in some cases), and I've seen other people say the same thing. So for gmail users, notifications may just be hung up because some server is having an asshole day.

That's true! I got some email at 4 with time stamps from 11 and 11:30.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Yup, I was just coming in here to say that the notification finally showed up, about 7 hours after it was sent.

Because books.

Yeah, mine's there now, too.

Yesterday's Gmail outage delayed millions of messages by over two hours.

GO TEAM NOT US THIS TIME.

(Please ignore last night's outage, but I am not happy with DH's level of support. I have never had a ticket responded to during the outage--the penultimate outage was us using too much PHP memory--it's not their job to tell me why, but we didn't change anything, including load, so why would our PHP.INI suddenly need fixing? But that took IM to get addressed, and I waited 20 minutes before someone got to me--20 minutes of staring at the window seeing if they'd picked up yet. The other outages just "resolved" and I got a response saying "I have tested your sites and they seem to be up now, BTW you can restart your virtual server at this link:")
