No PM e-mail notifications

[Wild and Free]

I am not receiving PM message notifications via e-mail. I checked my settings and it is turned on soooooooo........

Sending a few test first...

It worked from your test but the last few days I have been pming another and have not gotten a single notification for about 4-5 pm's.

[Mopar1973Man]

Not this?

I think I got all of the e-mails now. Was there a problem. It was JLweldings pm's that I was not receiving notifications from.

[Mopar1973Man]

Do me a favor and have him send you another and verify it. Exchange PM's and see if you both have the problem...

I got notification from another member yesterday but not from JLwelding again this morning. Also after leaving the site when I come back I still get the red notification box indicating a new message sometimes 2-3 times of checking in even after having read it already. It will disappear after I read it but when I leave and come back it is highlighted again for the same message.

Do you have corrupt cookie on your end or corrupt cache file? Basically email is suppose to be sent at particular times when system activity trigger it. In other words it set for every hour to send out notices in the email but if there is no site activity it will be postponed till someone travels this site again. But typically we have enough traffic here ot keep the mail moving... I'll dig a bit on my end and see what I find...

Don't know what this means, I'm puter illiterate. Why would others come through but again tonight JL sent me another PM with no e-mail notification? Seems to only be JL's messages that don't send notifications.

Funny part is JL Welding has his set for NO email notification I wonder if its a bug. I'll try and get a hold of him and see if he doesn't mind testing by flipping his on. Well as for the browser... What software are you using (IE, Firefox, Opera, chrome, etc???)

Internet explorer.

I clear those on my computer every couple of days already. Still doesn't work. Must be a glitch in JL's settings or something.

Kinda similar, so why start a new thread. I am not getting any emails from the site, or TDR.. kinda weird I get them from all the others. I didn't have access to this site for about 5 weeks, and then it started workig again.. but no emails??

[Mopar1973Man]

Give me a bit today I'm going to fiddle with the mail server and setting and see what happens...

--- Update to the previous post...

Ok...

Lets try this I dropped the PHP served email and now directed the site to use the Email server directly. Also then there was queuing of email till later time. Now I disabled the queue to see if it helps with the odd email delays...

[AH64ID]

Must have worked.. I got the email notification for your update! Pretty darn fast too. Thanks Mike... Now if TDR would do the same thing :-)

[Mopar1973Man]

Basically vBulletin out of the box will work with PHP directly to send out email and no configuring is required. But now taking the extra setup and telling vBulletin to send email via SMTP server should be more of true instant email.

[AH64ID]

It's working like a champ.

It was still funny, I would get notifications from everyones PM's but JLwelding seems his were the only ones not sending out message.

Yeh!!!!!!!!! It works now, I got the first e-mail pm notice from JLwelding tonight so whaever you did seemed to do it.
