I've done a bunch of experimenting and I now agree with what you told me (sorry about that). I don't know why I thought that the new postings were showing up in the subscribed topics list ... perhaps that occurred while we were trying to force the system to send emails. (My apologies for incorrect information.)

It appears that the lost email problem is happening because the subscriber's system was rejecting it. I updated the reply email address in the forum email configuration setup to be my own, and I started getting  bounces that I had previously missed. Now I have something I can use to solve the problem. Thanx.

What you say makes sense, but does not appear to be what is actually happenning on my system. I posted a new test topic in one of the forums we are all subscribed to, and the topic was automatically added to my userid's list of subscribed topics (honest!!! and I don't have any mod). I therefore assumed that you handled it that way inside the code. I could send you a screen shot of the email notifications page if it were of any interest.

I understand that an ISP might be rejecting the mail notifications and I will do some further testing this weekend and override the email addresses to try to isolate that aspect of it.

To ndamico: I do not know of any way to get the badmail folder as my WWF setup is pointing directly to my ISP's smtp server.

jpullam2 - do you have access to the badmail folder on the webserver?  if so, you might see if the messages are in there indicating a mail server problem.Q

I can't see why email notifications are not sent unless it hassomething to do with your SMTP server only relaying on certain emails.

Also, when subscribed to the forum when new topics are created theywill NOT automatically be added to the list of topics you aresubscribed as there is no point as you are subscribed to all posts fromthat forum.

This is where I am probally getting confused thinking you are using amod as unless the code is now writting itself I have not written anycode that will auto subscribe users to specific topics.

Sorry but I'm trying to explain this as precisely as I can. I guarantee there are no mods. Its 100% what you have on your website. Let me try again..

I have 2 users who have manually subscribed to receive email notifications from a forum (not from a mod, but from the page that you provide that is entitled "Email Notification Subscriptions"). Yet when a user posts a new topic in this forum, they do not receive notification of it (and it does not show up in the "topics you have subscribed to" list). Conversely, I have other users (myself included) where it does show up and email is sent.

I can't see any difference between the setup of these 2 users and all the others, yet the result is different. I can only assume that either I missed something or that there might be a bug somewhere (more likely the former).

I believe you must be using some kind of mod as I have not written anycode that would automatically add a new topic to your list ofsubscribed topics.

Also I have written code that will subscribe users to emailnotification of all posts in individual forums, but I have not writtenany code that would subscribe a user to all forums.

So the code must have been modded, it maybe better to address thisproblem to the person who modded the code to add these extra featuresto my software.

As I said in my first post "all users are subscribed to all forums". When I log on as one of these users, I can see that they are subscribed to the forums (looking at Email notification subscriptions), yet when a new topic is posted in one of them, the topic does NOT show up in the list of subscribed topics, and the email is NOT sent.

Conversely for other users (like me), the new topic is added and the email notification is sent. I can see no difference between the two types of users and have been investigating this problem extensively.

New topics won't automatcally be added for any users, unless you have modded the code.

If a user wants to be notified of all news posts they have to subscribe to notification for that entire forum.

I am running 7.9 on my own server and for the most part things are good (just upgraded from 7.7a). I have a closed group of about 10 people and at the moment want everyone in the group to receive email notifications of all new posts and replies. For some unknown reason some of us are getting them, but I have 2 users who aren't.

All users are subscribed to all forums, and all users are marked as "notify me of replies to posts". But for the 2 users, when a new topic is created, it does not automatically show up in their subscribed topics list and as a result no email is sent.

Is there something I'm missing here? Any further documentation I can get?
