I installed V7.7 and the massmail is working, so I trust the
mailserver set up is done correctly.

However, when testing the notify me function, i do not get any
mails. The Notify settings are below.

What did escape me?

Any hint is highly apreciated. Thank you in advance.

It looks like this maybe a bug as others have reported this.

You'll have to wait for the next version for a bug fix.

Right finally tracked down the problem. The application variable at line 338 of the file common.asp has the wrong name:-

Change line 338 of the file common.asp from:-

Application("strIncomingMailServer") = strOutgoingMailServer

To:-

Application("strOutgoingMailServer") = strOutgoingMailServer

This meant that the SMTP server name was not being loaded into the forum and so the email was not sent.
