the comment notifications thing
I found a work-around for not getting comments from LJ since the server move...I set my LJ email to my Gmail address and have Gmail forward to my regular address. (I have gmail forward to my regular address anyway. Why I don't just use Gmail...I don't know.) Anyway, Gmail seems to be find with LJ comments.
If you're not a Gmail type person, here's what LJ posted in news before the move:
New servers mean new IP addresses, so it's possible that LJ mail might not reach your email inbox because your email provider or client doesn't recognize the new IP addresses. We're working with email providers to whitelist the new IPs. There are a few things you can do on your end:
Add these two IP addresses to your "allowed senders" list (or whitelist) and address book in your email client: 208.93.0.18 and 208.93.0.50. These are the new IPs for sending comments notifications and LJ mail to your email inbox.
Add lj_notify@livejournal.com and webmaster@livejournal.com to your email address book.
If you can't edit the spam or junk filters in your email client, you may need to disable them entirely. Make these changes just before 8:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday morning or shortly after the site comes back up to ensure that your LJ mail makes it to your inbox.
