  The email quota on our email provider was exhausted after we sent out about 400k+ emails to announce the server migration last weekend.
  
  We're in the process of replenishing it.
  
  Will post here and in the support ticket once it's done.

  You learn something new every day.
  
  Didn't know there was such a thing as an "email quota".

  We buy email from an email service provider, the email equivalent of an internet service provider, except that they provide email delivery services.
  
  Depending on what you choose, you buy them in units of 10,000, 100,000 or more.
  
  What they do is deliver your email through their email infrastructure, so everyone gets your email almost simultaneously. They also do stuff like ensure a higher rate of delivery, etc.
  
  If we send email via our own SMTP (send mail transport protocol) server, we're probably restricted to a couple thousand email per hour (else the site gets flagged for sending spam - based on the quantity of email being sent out), and it might take half a day to a day for email we send to get to you.
  
  Er, long story made short. We ran out of email quota, the techs are fixing the issue and we are working towards fixing it by Tuesday morning.

  I do not know if this is true for anyone else, but I have yet to receive any past emails, and sent one from a log, wiki, and calendar this am and have not received any email yet.

  Just trying to help out.

  I received a backlog of emails over the course of two hours this morning, and it appears to be all of the missing notifications from three days of play by post.

  Getting tech to look at this again.
  
  In the meantime, it will be preferable to file "customer support tickets":http://help.obsidianportal.com/discussions/problems/18110-email-notifications-not-working so that it will be better followed up on.

  I've sent several campaign invitations over the last week, including several today, and none are going out. I sent one to one of my own email addresses and haven't gotten it. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
