Not getting emails when posts update

I seem to have stopped getting emails when someone adds a post - the last one I received was 2 days ago on the 18th March. I've checked my spam and they aren't in there. I've checked my inbox - it's 87% full.
Any ideas or is there a problem on the forum?

I'll see if I can find out if there is a problem, not aware of anything but will look into it for you.

We exceeded our limit and it may not get released until 26th of this month - I'm trying to sort it before. The site has been very busy lately and with more automated emails being pinged around there are limits put in place to prevent spamming from the server. I've been given a further option to upgrade hosting (again!) so am reviewing the costs

Can I ask a favour please
Please unsubscribe to threads you are currently subscribed to.
Once I get notifications reinstated please only subscribe to threads that you really need to as there's just too many notifications going out. The levels of mail being sent daily are deemed as spam from the server and its causing problems.
I can see from the logs that some users subscribe to many threads!
If I can't lower the number going out then it can't be reinstated plus I've stopped receiving notification of new members joining which means I can't activate them. Nobody is receiving notifications of private messages either.
I'm looking at a new private network for the forum which would solve this but its going to cost several hundred a month which currently isn't really viable.

Tom, please forgive if this is a stupid question but I don't want to receive any emails telling me a topic I've replied to has had a reply. Can I turn this facility off somehow? Or do I need to unsubscribe to every single post?
Thanks.
