unlocking mail not sent

  • I am using the WordFence plugin on a large WP multisite network.

    When a blocked user fills the form to receive the the unlock email, he gets the correct result screen:

    Your request was received

    We received a request to email “[email protected]” instructions to unlock their access. If that is the email address of a site administrator or someone on the Wordfence alert list, then they have been emailed instructions on how to regain access to this sytem. The instructions we sent will expire 30 minutes from now.

    But he does not receive any mail.

    I reproduced the problem on my side and I see that nothing is written in the php error logs, and I see in the sendmail logs that no mail has been sent.

    Is it a bug on the last plugin version or anything else ?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Oh sorry, I think I answered in the other post. There are two things that might be going on.
    One: Is this user an admin or on the list6 to receive alerts from wordfence?

    Two: Can you use the test email functionality link at the bottom of the options page to see if he gets an email? Make sure and check spam filters, etc. If he still doesn’t get it and you can’t get one either the sendmail or postfix service on his web server may need to be restarted.

    Hi Tim,

    thank you for the reply.

    One: yes the user is admin on the blocked site

    Two: he received the test mail sent from the wordfence network admin option page

    Any other idea about what could cause the issue ?
