[jgmac1106] Jeanie gmail marks my email notifications as spam. I had to work to get thwm through
#
[jgmac1106] Many still get marked malicious... Wonder if many dormant sites that have become spam targets make it worse... Pure speculation

[jeremycherfas] I have to use an app-specific password because I am on Fastmail. That is the only thing I can think of.

jeremycherfas !tell [jgmac1106] I'm trying to get comments working on my site, with no luck. I see you have the '0 comments' etc displayed on yours, but do not present a form to leave a comment. Does this mean you receive comments ONLY by backfeed?

Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

[jgmac1106] jeremycherfas, yes. I need to install the askimet plugin before turing comments back on
#
jeremycherfas OK

[Jeannie] I don't use gmail. I have private hosted email. And the issue isn't that messages are going to spam. The issue is that test messages aren't being sent. I don't have 2FA so don't need an app-specific password. By all accounts it should work, but it fails at every attempt. So there must be something on the back end preventing the email service from executing properly that I need to tweak.

@ModernRetroMe For the longest time I had felt that WordPress was just way too robust and clunky for my wants/need/desires for blogging. Other solutions were either not mobile-friendly or not as cost-effective as my hosting account.
