    Hi there, I’ve had Subscribe2 working perfectly well for a while. Then I starting trying new themes and plugins. I was getting notifications of new subscribers, but after publishing a new post yesterday I noticed I didn’t receive notification of that. I read all the troubleshooting. I’ve deactivated all plugins except Subscribe2, I’m using TwentyEleven theme, no child theme.
    I tried to subscribe myself under a different email, and got NO notification of new subscription. Not to my own admin email, or to the newly subscribed email asking me to complete subscription. When I look at the list of subscribers, that diff email is there, but highlighted red (indicating not completed?).
    I’m stuck, don’t know what to try next! All suggestions welcome please!

    I’ve also deactivated and reactivated Subscribe2, no joy ??

    UPDATE: I went through all the troubleshooting, and spoke to my host: Bluehost, who told me there are no restrictions on outgoing mail, and that they could see mail going from my site, to various subscribers. My main email a/c is with AOL (yes I know!), I also have a gmail address. I wasn’t receiving test mail to either a/c. Then I tried posting a test post, and suddenly I received a notification to gmail, but NOT to AOL. Not even in spam.
    I have been successfully getting notifications to my AOL address for months, until yesterday. Does anyone have experience of this, or any suggestions of how to persuade AOL to stop filtering this address?
    Thanks!

    I’m sorry to say this but I suspect you’ve been mislead by whoever you spoke to at Bluehost. Their own documentation clearly says they employ a default limit of 150 emails per hour:
    https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/119
    So telling you that they have “no restrictions on outgoing mail” is not true.

    So, it’s back to Bluehost, as the intermittent emailing sending and failing sounds like you are running into this limitation somehow.

    Hi Mattyrob, yup, they did admit the 150 email per hour limit, but that was all they admitted to.
    I do find it strange that after talking to them, with them not admitting to any problems, I started getting notifications to my gmail account.
    Then, after I miraculously found a “help” email address on aol, and sent them an email, a couple of hours later, I magically started getting notifications from aol again!
    Hmmmmm!
    So, I seem to be getting notifications again, and it seems to have been an issue either with Bluehost or AOL, or possibly both….
    Thank you for your continuing support and unfailing patience! Much appreciated!
    Happy New Year!! ??
