Stopped receiving all WPW email notifications, changing email address doesn't work

About ~2 days ago I noticed that I stopped receiving all WPW email notifications. The only way I know about any PM or thread updates is by coming to the website and looking at all of my subscribed threads and PM area. Ironically, I use my ISP-given address here because it's not filtered and my domains' addresses are. So I tried changing my address here to a Gmail address, it said it would send an email to it to "verify it's real" or something like that, and I never even received the email notification verification for that! I logged into Gmail webmail to see if it was marked as spam, and it's not, the spam folder and inbox is empty. An hour later, still no emails.

Is this a problem happening with WPW?
Thanks.

Our system went down recently and from what I can tell, our mailing system never fully came back. What that means is that once we solve the problem you'll probably get a few emails all at once as it clears itself out.

In the mean time I went ahead and reactivated your account for you so you don't have to worry about the confirmation of your email address.

Ok thanks Rah. Yeah, about an hour ago I suddenly starting receiving all kinds of WPW email.

Thanks for the quick fix, rah! Yeah, I got a flood of 'em, too, Clint.

As an aside, I'm guessing that the mailer for the WebProNews is a different one, because I continued to receive them, and there was no backlog there.

Hey, if there wasn't an occasional hiccup, it wouldn't be any fun, right, Rafa?

You have a strange sense of fun my friend... Also yes, webpronews and all of our other email newsletters are sent through a different group of servers.

Strangely enough, you're not the first person to tell me that.

Go figure!

I don't know what to say to that one.
