Email Notifications Not Sent, But Test Email Works

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

For some reason the email notifications are not being sent when messages are being posted that I've set up notification for. I've checked to make sure the settings in the Admin Panel are correctly set based on previous posts on this topic, and made sure the "Notify when a reply is posted" option is checked when I initially posted. I have even been able to send several test emails to my address successfully, so it looks like the smtp settings are correct. Am I missing something? Do you have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

Is the option "Send an email to notify users when a topic reply is post" set to "true"?

Yes, that is set to "true".

I have also noticed that I don't receive emails from this forum either even though I've specified that I would like to receive email notifications (maybe you have that turned off?).

For this forum I have turned it off.. I had some problems with the mail server.

Do you know Java? if you want, you can try to put some logging at the method notifyUsers() of class TopicsCommon.java. Also, take a look in your Tomcat (?) logs and search for any kind of exception that may be related (MailException, templates errors etc.. )

I'll take a closer look here too.

Did anything come of this? I am having the same sort of issue. Users that have opted to Watch a particular forum or thread are not getting e-mails.

Rufus, I've still be unable to resolve the issue. We've tried pretty much everything we can think of, but nothing seems to work. The test email and email notifications about private messages work perfectly, but no other notifications are sent.

Hmmm, I am currently looking into this since this is something that we really need for our implementation. I will update this thread with any information that I come across. Thanks for the update and please let me know if you find anything.

Thanks. We're also holding off on implementing until this gets sorted out, but I'm not sure if it ever will!

We did find that Exchange is not even attempting to send the notifications except for the PM and test message, but I'm not sure why that is.

We are also experiencing the same problem. Test emails work fine but notifications do not.
Our implementation is

Tomcat 5.5

Jforum 2.1.7

MySQL 5.0

Exchange 2003

Port 25 verified

No authentication required

The Tomcat logs indicate the following error:

08:35:50,727 WARN [AbstractWorker ] Exception while executing a task: net.jforum.exceptions.ForumException: net.jforum.exceptions.MailException: Error while dispatching the message.javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
java.io.IOException: No content

We are currently in pre-beta with beta testing to begin the first of October. So any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Please forgive me, but what is CVS and where do I go to get there?

Thanks for your response Rafael

You can get 2.1.8 from CVS.

Hi Rafael -
Is 2.1.8 supposed to fix this issue?
[originally posted on jforum.net by Rufus]

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Yes.

I don't usually suggest to get just one or other file, but if you want to give it a try, get all mail related classes (all spammer implementations)

I've located the source code, but I don't know what I need to download. Is it the entire structure or just a file or two?

Rafael - when will 2.1.8 be released?
