Well, I guess it pays to double check before answering a post, sorry for the confusion.
I just checked in with the marketing manager, and found out the scoop:
We stopped sending Dot release announcements through email a little while ago, and have been doing the announcements through our twitter fead instead:

if you subscribe to our twitter feed, you should get the dot release announcements that way. We will be re evaluating that practice and may go back to sending email announcements.
