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.

For anyone having this same issue just FYI while you're trying to fix this issue you can still see your mail scans (or at least the last seven days I think) on the usps informed delivery webpage. 

(Sorry if someone has already posted this... just trying to help)

Good information to share @tgor14 , that is correct. It's just more convenient to get the emails.

Suggestion as a work around until this gets sorted out---------------

Do you have another email account like Gmail, Outlook.com or some other?  Sign into your USPS account and change the destination to that other email address.  You can then go into that email account's settings and set a filter/rule to forward the USPS emails to the Comcast account.  See if that works for you.  The incoming header would show it coming from the other email account instead of directly from USPS.

Might be worth a try if you really need them to go to the Comcast account.

Hello,

Since 1/19 I stopped getting informed delivery emails sent to my email.  I checked my spam folder and even called USPS and they said everything is filled out correctly and I should be getting emails. Can some assist me in this matter?

thank you,

I did that. It work for a short while and then that one quit working. I contacted USPS and supposedly they are going to fix it. I don’t have high hopes, since they never fixed it the last two times it happened. They are telling me you need to work with your email provider, but it seems to me they should be the ones to fix it. Here is their explanation (I don’t buy it because I know for a fact I never reported the email as spam after switching to a different email account):

“It appears you or your email provider marked the Informed Delivery emails as SPAM. We requested from your email provider the removal of that designation.
If you send even one USPS email to SPAM all subsequent emails will go to SPAM. 
You should start seeing emails with images in a few days.
In the future you will need to reach out to your email provider for assistance. The program they use is for SPAM block is called MailGun. They have the capability to turn this on or off.”

Xfinity: I wish you would update your tool bar on the web interface so the spam icon is not right next to the delete icon. Working on notebook/tablet devices it is so easy to accidentally hit the wrong icon.

@SuzyQ924​ if you DM me your email address, I can escalate to Mailgun (Sinch).  They can remove the "suppression".

Alex, can you do that for me also?

I have done the forwarding trick from another email account but would prefer it to work correctly.

It does not make much sense to flag something accidentally as spam and not have it even go to the SPAM folder afterwards.

I rely on my emails for a lot of my communications so I understand the inconvenience that this can cause. We will definitely do everything we can to get this resolved as quickly as possible. Are you attempting to access those emails and experiencing this issue on our website or on a 3rd party email client?

Hopefully XfinityAlex can help you all. I've given up and ended up using the suggestion of setting up a forward rule from my secondary Xfinity email address to my primary (which has been blocked for months). This ran all the way up to what they say is tier 3 support at Xfinity. I got the same old same old from them. "Make sure they are not going to another folder", done. "Make sure you are not directing them to spam", done. "Make sure you have Informed Delivery enabled on the USPS site", done. I told the tier 3 rep it was due to being blocked on the Sinch side and she said there was nothing they could do, check with USPS. I also told her to mark my ticket as unresolved, customer dissatisfied (doubt that will happen). I then opened a ticket with USPS and after about 2 weeks got a somewhat automated response with all of the above suggestions. I'll continue to keep an eye on this thread, but not holding my breathe.

I agree with philliesdon completely. I had a similar experience and I finally switched to my Gmail address and no issues (fingers crossed) at all!!

Interesting that this happens supposedly because an email was accidentally or inadvertently marked spam. So how come all that email I get that is spam and I so mark isn't suppressed? Now that would be nice if it was. And oh yes, sometime in January or February 2024, I stopped getting my Informed Delivery daily email. So, this appears to be a wide spread, common problem that many have.

@user_4ed02f​ Sinch (The ESP for USPS) gets the "complaint" and suppresses future messages to you, it's not Xfinity blocking the messages.  This is fairly common with how ESPs work today.  Most people don't notice when they accidentally mark marketing messages from JCPenney as spam, and don't get those in the future. But Informed Delivery is something folks will notice.  If you DM me the email address you're using to receive these, I'll send it up to Sinch, usually resolved within a day or so.

That’s great that you can fix this for us, Alex. But shouldn’t someone in the USPS be able to do that? All they ever do is refer you to your email provider. So frustrating. You’ve fixed mine 3 times now and I really appreciate it. I started moving all the USPS emails to a specific folder now. If USPS tells me again I marked it as spam (which I don’t think I’ve done), I’ll be able to look at that folder and see if I’m missing a Daily Digest. Then I can go back to USPS and try to convince them that I did not accidentally mark something as spam. Probably hopeless, but I can try. You’re doing us a real service by fixing this for us!

I, like many others, have stopped getting my USPS Informed delivery daily emails. From the Xfinity forums website, it indicates the "problem" is with an "ESP" called "mail gun" or "Sinch" who is a third party intermediary that handles this type of daily, mass mailed email. For some reason, this email is put on a "suppression" list and it take Xfinity intervention to take it off the suppression list. Please do so. Thank you. I am sending this request as suggested on the forum by Xfinity Alex and XfinityKrista.

FYI, the above is the message sent to Xfinity support directly. I was informed by XfinityOrlandoM however, that I must first post to this forum. Consider this my post. I assume I must receive a response on this forum. Please advise and grant permission to contact support directly as has been advised above to others.

@JoseGreco I've requested that the email associated with your account be removed from suppression. This can take a day or two.  If it was not that email address, please DM me with the correct email.   Thanks.  I'll try to remember to update here when they respond.

Thanks so much XfinityAlex, XfinityOrlandoM, XfinityJustinC, XfinityNicolas, and XfinityAmandaB. Does it truly take a "village"? Regardless, this morning I received my USPS informed delivery! I hope it holds, time will tell.  Now it's trying to figure out what to avoid and never do again what caused this in the first place. Thanks again, I appreciate all of your help and assistance.
