Narrative:
Ever since the 737MAX; it seems most 737 controllers are not getting ACARS messages or electronic logbook write-ups the crew sends. The messages are not coming through on maintenance control ACARS/elb page or through the maintenance control's alert manager application.yesterday on a flight; I received a call from dispatch asking if I could answer the crew. Since I had not received any messages and no other controllers had either we were in the dark. Dispatcher gave me the info I proceeded to reply to captain's inquiry; also telling him to message both dispatch and maintenance control; as we were not receiving the messages from him. We never got a response; but dispatch called and said captain received our message and problem was resolved.after this situation; I decided to try and test it out on another aircraft; which had just arrived in our base. I sent a test log page. Again; we did not receive any pop up on maintenance control [page] or maintenance control's alert manager informing us of the write-up.
