No longer receiving UPSP Informed Delivery emails

I am signed up with the United States Postal Service Informed Delivery Service. I had been receiving their daily emails without issue until 2-3 months ago when they stopped coming. On the USPS site my settings are correct, and I've followed all the troubleshooting steps they provided. But I still am not receiving the daily email. I added the sender email to my contacts (USPSInformeddelivery@email.informeddelivery.usps.com) and that did not make a difference. I've also had this happen with another site twice, but they were able to fix the issue on their end. Any ideas on how I can fix this? I use the web interface to access my email.

If you're not getting your USPS Informed Delivery, please send me a DM which includes your email address (and at least please mention USPS to avoid confusion).  I can reach out to the ESP responsible and see if you've been added to their "suppression list", and if so, have your email address removed.

Hey @Nazif,

 

Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Community Support forums page. Are you specifically having issues receiving e-mail from USPS? Would you be able to check your spam and email filters by visiting our "Set Email Filters or Spam Filters – Xfinity Email Help" support page to ensure the emails are not being misplaced? Are you also using the native Xfinity email portal by visiting the main Xfinity home web page and not accessing through any third-party program or applications? We hope to hear from you soon.

Hey @user_vwprmp,

 

Thanks for visiting our Xfinity Community Support forums. I am glad to hear you are taking advantage of the USPS Informed Delivery service. This is a feature I also take advantage of as well for my home as well. 

 

Do you happen to have the USPS Informed Delivery address added to your Contacts as well as verified your e-mail spam filters to ensure the e-mail may not be accidentally rerouted to another folder. The e-mail recommended being added to your contacts is [USPSInformeddelivery@email.informeddelivery.usps.com].

 

Please double-check your settings and let us know if you are still experiencing issues. We are always a quick message away.

@XfinityAlex​ I am now having this issue with USPS Informed Delivery as well as emails from Potbelly. Can you check if my email has been added to a suppression list?

Before anyone else asks, I have checked my settings on the USPS website, they're are no emails in my spam folder, I have not marked these emails as spam, and I had been receiving them until recently.

Thanks

@SuzyQ924 Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. I can understand how this would be frustrating. Are the emails going to the Spam folder or completely blocked?

Do you get a lot of these on a daily basis or is it in somewhat of a digest form?

Sorry if you get this response twice. These are apparently completely blocked. I always take a quick look at my spam folder before clearing it out and they have never showed up there. I should receive one email on everyday I have mail arriving.

Is this on a third-party email app or via the Xfinity website? Also, have you checked to see if there are any filters or if those emails are being forwarded somewhere?

I use the Xfinity website for my email, not a third party app. I have no filters set, and am not auto-forwarding any emails. Is there a way to see if I’ve marked these emails as spam at some point? It’s unlikely this is the problem since I always check my spam folder before clearing it out. If there is something that shouldn’t be there, I move it back to my inbox and then delete it. I wish Xfinity would move the Mark as Spam icon away from the Delete icon. Working on a tablet it’s way too easy to touch the wrong icon without realizing it (which is why I check my spam folder regularly).

@SuzyQ924 - I have had this issue as well over the last week. The emails used to come like clockwork a little before 8am Eastern time, but since last week, I've only received one. They do not go to Spam; it looks like they are just blocked.

I am also having this issue with the USPS Informed Delivery emails. I have not received a daily USPS Informed Delivery email since 8/5/23. I use the web interface to access my email. I have done all the verification with USPS and email spam folder/filters. I am not having this issue with any other email senders. May I please get some help from an Official Xfinity Employee as indicated by XfinityAlex in the Accepted Solution?

I am having the same problem with my daily USPS emails.  I actually spoke with tech support at USPS that told me it was an Xfinity issue they were familiar with and they contacted Xfinity and it worked for a while. They said it had to do with a service called MailGun.  It is again not working and USPS told me if it came back I would need to take it up with Xfinity. Please help.

XfinityAlex,

Thank you very much for your explanation and efforts.  My USPS emails go to a different xfinity email account.  How do I privately message you that account name?

Hello @eric316, I see you have sent "Xfinity Support" a direct message. I believe there might have been some slight confusion. It would appear XfinityAlex had asked for you to send them a direct message. They mentioned being able to fix the email linked to your forums account.  Are you able to send them the direct message with your email?

Sending unsolicited Direct Messages to “Xfinity Support” or an Official Employee of the Xfinity Community Forum, is a violation of Forum Guidelines. Although, we can see that you intended to send the direct message to XfinityAlex.

Let me explain a bit more about why this is happening to everyone.

In the email world, there are MBPs/ISPs (like comcast.net or gmail.com), and then there are ESPs (such as Mailgun or SendGrid).  Typically, the ESPs send a large volume of messages on behalf of brands/entities (USPS, Home Depot, LL Bean, etc), and there's a lot of orchestration that goes on behind the scenes.  A user/customer orders something, or signs up for a service, or mailing list, and then that eventually propagates over to the ESP where they manage things such as segmentation and engagement.  In many cases, when users/customers mark a message as spam (intentionally or accidentally), a report (FBL is the acronym) goes back to the ESP.  The ESP believes you no longer want to receive such messages, and then adds you to what is called a "suppression list".  And sometimes when you're on such a list, no matter how many times you unsubscribe or resubscribe, it is of no use (depending how the data is managed, etc).  The problem is that most users don't know these exist, or how to get their "suppression" removed.  The result is that we reach out to the ESP on your behalf to ask them to remove that. 

I do apologize, I know it's a complicated part of how email works.  We'll do our best to help you as best we can.  The folks at Mailgun (Sinch now) that send on behalf of USPS for Informed Delivery have been fairly cooperative when we send over these requests.

Thanks for the explanation on the issue. I would like to add the informed delivery email as a trusted source so that it does not accidentally get moved to my spam folder. When using the Comcast email web interface, is there a more straightforward way to define an email address as a trusted source than using the email safe list option? Or maybe I should set up a rule that moves the emails to a specific folder so that they do not go to the spam folder?

@SuzyQ831​ These messages aren't generally marked as spam. The concern here is when users mark the messages as spam (again, intentionally or accidentally).   However, yes, you can create a folder and a rule to move the messages there.  You can also add the From address to your address book (if you're looking at one of their messages, and you click the email in the webmail, it should open an option to add to Address Book).

Just a note-----the "Safe List" option you mentioned.  If you enable that, you will only get emails from email addresses you put on that list, and nothing else.  It is not the same thing as a traditional email "white list".

Just sayin😉

Good to know I am not the only one no longer receiving the USPS Informed delivery emails!  My house is located quite far from my mailbox, and knowing what may be in my mailbox is helpful in making the decision if I need to drive down and retrieve my mail right away!  I'd love a resolution to the missing emails! Thank you in advance!

Not going to spam, no other forwarding, etc.
