new user doesn't receive message

Hi crucco37,

I am sorry to hear you’re running into email delivery problems, though I can’t say they’re uncommon. ??

Have you tested subscribing with email accounts you own/control (so you can see right away whether you receive a confirmation email)?

Have you confirmed that you can send emails (using an email client of some sort) from the email address you’ve configured Post Notif to use?

In any case, I’d suggest changing the plugin configuration to use another email address to see if your results are different.

The configuration of the sending email account in Post Notif is effectively binary – it either works or doesn’t so there’s not anything else to tinker with configuration-wise. It uses wp_mail which is a WordPress core function that relies upon PHPMailer – the plugin merely passes it sender, the recipient, the subject, the body, and the fact that the email is HTML-formatted.

The other end of the transaction is tricky, as I’m sure you’re already aware from using email in general. That is, the receiving domain may not like the sender and often treats certain (or unknown) domains (or addresses within them) as spammers.

If your site is available on the open web, I’d be happy to try subscribing myself to see if I receive a confirmation email.

Thanks,
Devon

Hi crucco37,

I hope you’ve either been able to get Post Notif working or found another plugin that works better for your site. Since I have not heard from you in over a month, I’m marking this as resolved.

Thanks,
Devon

Hi Devon,

yes, everything works fine. I thought I already told you that.

We had some other issues around logging in after registering with
a page coming up with the only word ‘blocked’. But after the last
updates all works pretty well.

kind regards
