Hello,

i checked all related topiccs, but i couldn't find a solution to my problem. On my page, i've set the adminitrator to confirm the comment before publishing, but the email administrator notifications doesn't work at all.

I can see the comment in joomla backend, but I don't receieve any email. So, it's not so useful, if i check every hour if there are any new comments.

I've enabled notifications, marked both notification types, filled the email and it still doesn't work.

I test it with many different user accounts (not with the administrator email), but no luck.

And I also don't have any problems with my mail settings (lost password functions and similar work correctly).

Any help or any idea is highly appreciated, because i think i'm stuck!

Tnx!

You'll not recieve administrator's notification if you're post comment from the same email as you've set in JComments settings - JComments will not send notification if comment's author email is equal to administor's email.

May be you've problems with some anti-spam software? Any other emails (password reminder or notification about new user registration) works on your site? I'm using these notifications on demo.joomlatune.com for last 2 years and I didn't had any problems with it.

Yes, password reminder and notification about new user registration works perfectly.

Try to use another email for administrator's notifications.
BTW, which JComments version do you use?

In my mind you could have some problem with anti-spam software... In any case feel free to contact me with any questions about JComments.

Hello,

I have this problem too, can't work it out. Different emails, both guests and registered users, no luck what so ever.

I wonder, do I need to set up a cron job for this to work? I'm stuck here..

Thanks

No, you needn't do this.

Have you checked all email settings? Make sure that email function works with standart Joomla's extensions (contacts, password reminder etc).

Thanks smart, it finally worked.

The culprit was the usual suspect PHP Mail Function which sometimes worked and some other times it didn't. That gave me troubles trying to identify the cause. Once I switched to SMTP Server, everything worked smoothly.

Thanks again, and congrats for your fine work.
