Subscribe2 Multiple Email Notifications

  • I’ve seen many posts on this topic, most of which are outdated and none have been solved. I have the subscribe2 email notification plugin installed and working pretty well on my work blog (internal network) for an engineering project I work with. However, I get three emails (and so do some other subscribers) every time there’s a post on my weblog – one in HTML, one in excerpt text and the third in full post text. Why is this happening? I have gone through everything over and over and nothing seems out of place.

    Also, on another note (but same plugin), some people get notifications, and some don’t. All of these people are subscribed and registered (I’ve checked all the “obvious” problems), and we’re all on the same network and have the same email server. Any ideas?

  • As the poster you are supposed to get 3 emails to show you that the plugin worked. Subscribers can opt for HTML, full plain text or excerpt palin text – you’ll get a copy of each.

    As to why some people don’t get emails – are they registers at the blog or a “public” subscriber having just entered their email?

    If they are registered they need to manage their own email options at your site and can subscribe to certain (or all) categories.

    Dude, I’ve got the same problem with regard to some people not receiving notification emails. On a work website I run I have about 35 people signed up to receive notification emails, and about 6 or 7 of them just don’t get them. Ever. I’ve tried deleting them and then resubscribing, I’ve checked out their email addresses (they’re fine), and now I’ve run out ideas!

    Anyone else got any thoughts on how to fix this, please? Much appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Croila,

    I’ve been working on this – try the latest version.

    https://www.prescriber.org.uk/subscribe2.php

    I tried the previous version of this plugin and always experienced the emailing problem, it would only email me(the admin) and the first subscribed user(first one in the BCC email). With work being done on the script again I decided to give it another try and still have the same problme so I cannot use this script on my site, great script if it actually sent emails out. I am currently using ‘Post Email’, a very basic post email notifier, but know what, it sends the emails everytime.

    I am using subscribe2 too. I was able to subscribe people manually from the admin, but I can’t get people subscribed from the site itself. I do not allow user registration, so I only want public users subscribing. The form shows up great but when you fill it out, the info must go nowhere because it doesn’t show up on the subscribers’ list and they never get emails.

    This would be a really great plugin if I could get it to work.

    btw, do you have a link to that “very simple” Post Email plugin you’re using? Simple sounds fine to me since I don’t have registered users.

    I’d just like to be able to get the damn widget to display in the sidebar!

    Is there somewhere that you need to customize the “send-to” info in the php file maybe?

    The help desk at Subscribe2 suggested I contact my hosting service and I received the following response as the email issue, at least on my service, is a server issue:

    the BCC header on php/cgi scripts is a server restriction as it is the latest trick SPAMERS have been using injecting BCC headers and pushing their junk and hiding themseves (and word press was one of the affected scrpts) however CC should work

    I’ve a new issue with Subscribe2. I received this email today from a subscriber:
    “Got two copies, one HTML and one pure text. Both show you as the addressee as well as the sender, which could reduce the likelihood the message will be opened.”
