Dont receive alert emails

Asked By: Alyssa Lewis Date: Jan 13, 2006 Category: Sharepoint Views: 230

We have SharePoint Portal Server 2003 implemented with service pack 2 using SQL Server 2000 with Service pack 4 on the same machine, we use both Portal areas and SharePoint sites, we do receive alert emails when there is an alert generated on SharePoint Sites, but when it comes to Portal the My Alert Web part is updated showing the recent updates on the alerts which we subscribed to but we don’t receive emails for those alerts. I don’t get it, I did a lot of research work found so many things, tried so many things as well but haven’t been able to fix this thing, alerts are a very important part of our business processes which has been implemented on SharePoint.

1 - Have you configured alerts in Central Admin by providing an e-mail address that alerts will be sent from as well as the SMTP server through which you are relaying your mail?

Answer #2 Answered By: Chadd Hahn Answered On: Jan 13, 2006

SMTP is configured, I do receive alerts of other types from server that is that is the site in use and if I subscribe myself to some Portal Area or List, I mean I add an alert then I receive the email mentioning that an alert has been added. But I don’t receive the alerts emails on Portal but I receive alert emails on Sites.
