I have about 300 members that need to be notified when there is a new post. Originally I had configured mail as PHP Mail. I am using Easycron to spark delivery by EasyBlog. Using PHP Mail, I was getting the bulk of the notifications delivered, but there were groups of people who did not receive them. My ISP support claimed that PHP Mail was not as reliable as SMTP and they have requested that I move to that technique. Since moving to SMTP nobody is getting mail. ISP folk have tested the link somehow and claim that everything is set up correctly. When there is a new post 300 messages are queued and visable in "email activity". These messages appear to be sent at the rate that I would expect given the parameter setting in EasyBlog and EasyCron. After a couple of hours all are sent. unfortunately I cannot get one user to advise they are received. Help please. Without notifications the site is down.
Hello Fred,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Is it possible for us to create a test post to test out the notifications on the site?

Hi Mark
I went back over everything with a fine tooth comb. I found that the email address at *settings/notifications/email templates* did not match the email address at *Global Configuration/server/From email* I set them to the same *real* admin email address and gave it another test. Everything *seemed* to work fine when I resent the notifications. Does it make sense that this could have been the problem?

Hello Fred,

That should be not the problem. We will take a look on this issue in our local.
