Thanks for leaving your one star review after just leaving a reply to a topic a couple of hours before.

bbpress notifications and emails do not work.
They do work, it just some issues with using BCC on some hosts that have a limit of about 500 emails to be sent.
When you go to support they refer you to a third party and do not support.
Since I think you are referencing the same topic that I linked to above. A regular participant user said that they recommended asking help from a mod, who was a moderator before I was on the support forums.
And the user also shared the advice given from the moderator they contacted privately, their recommendation of using an smtp sending service is fine to use if you are sending a high amount of subscription emails a day.
and do not support
I helped on numerous topics just like the one you are referencing, I even tried to help a user on the topic to try to pinpoint the issue, but they did not reply back to help solve the issue.
