Vanilla 2 simply will not send notifications by email*

GregJ · February 2011

I am using a local (to the server) email, connecting via SMTP.

Invitation emails are sent as expected.

Notifications however, are simply not sent. Period.

I have not used V2 before, so any point in the right direction as to why email is not working only for invites would be great.

Thank you.

Still hoping someone can help me out with this.

have you set the flag in preferences? it is in your profile (press your name when logged in)

GregJ · February 2011

Yes. All email notification checkboxes are checked in preferences.

Is email configured properly in the dashboard?

GregJ · February 2011

Yes.

Registration emails as well as invite emails are sent just fine. It's just the notification emails that don't get sent.

Sorry, didn't quite read the first post.
Do you have access to the mail logs? To check that if you have at least an attempt to send email and that don't work for whatever reason.

GregJ · February 2011

Yeah, I checked the mail logs and it doesn't make it that far. There are no attempts to send out any notification emails.

No more idea, I don't know how to debug php, sorry.

I know it does not fix the problem but I have been using the EmailSubscribe plugin by /cd with success. It also allows notification sending based on user roles. And it does send notifications for new posts to the forum.

I am actually also experiencing this, even on the VanillaForums.org website. I have discussions bookmarked, yet I don't receive any e-mail that somebody commented on this discussion. It used to work in the previous versions.

My plugin actually sends an e-mail when someone starts a new discussion and then it bookmarks the discussion. I have tried to look through the code, but can't find a point of failure before sending the e-mail.

Notification emails aren't being sent for me either.
