I've just checked my email and have not received it, at least not yet.
If he's using a newsletter mailing service it may send them in groups of 100 per hour or few hours..
Considering that the membership data has got relatively large compared to what it was a year ago, it could either mean that it takes a few days for everyone to receive the newsletter or he may even have fallen off the allowed number of contacts in his package..
Or it could be that he also sent the contest winners email on March 1st (I did receive that one), and that could have caused a bottleneck in the sending queue. When did you receive the news email MM?
I've also performed a
blacklist check, and he seems to not be listed in any of them, so that's not the case.
Let's just wait and see.
