Hi Lorette,

There is a myth about this topic – BLOG… many people are expecting too much, too soon…
Fact is that only the companies with the big wallets actually get it, e/g Facebook…

I stumbled by chance on the problem I had. I installed on the blog a plug-in called akismet, this was supposed to protect my blog from Spam, it obviously did a very good job, it blocked sending me emails…
I uninstalled it, all works fine now…

Maybe you have some plug-in on your blog that is doing a too good job?

Cheers
Alex : P/S – how can I add my picture / avatar on this blog?

Hi melissa,

I have experienced the same problem of not getting email notifications on visitors’ comments.

Installed Postman SMTP, configured it and got a test message OK,
BUT – when an actual comment is posted, I do NOT get an email.

Interestingly – when I look in the LOG, there are no records there at all. I was expecting to see an entry, even if it fails. This to me means the WP is NOT attempting to send an email at all…

I am lost, will appreciate any idea to try…

Cheers
Alex

Well, I checked all the settings again. I can’t see anything wrong but have two more details:

1) There is no entry in the log to show the Postman / WP tried to email and it failed.. nothing!
2) On my website which is hosted on the same hosting platform, I have a “Contact Us” form which is using PHM MAIL and works just fine….

What can be wrong with WP? Where to look?
So, any suggestions?

I am using SMTP, actually the Plugin Postman SMTP
It sends a test message OK at the end of the setup, but when a visitor is inserting a comment, I don’t get a message to be notified to go and approve it…

I am lost…
