Hi,
Im using ezpublish 4.0.0 and my site is complete bar one issue - and I would like some help in figuring out what I should be doing in the way of troubleshooting.

My users dont get email notifications either by "my item notifications" under notification settings or when they are part of a workflow and need to approve something (they have the collaboration notification checkbox for approval checked).
The workflow and publishing otherwise works as expected (can appove/deny the items etc).

I can email from the commandline of the system using mailx.
running runcronjobs.php by hand I get the following output:

/usr/local/php5/bin/php runcronjobs.php frequent -d
Running cronjob part 'frequent'
Running cronjobs/notification.php
Starting notification event processing
Done

Running cronjobs/workflow.php
Checking for workflow processes
Status list
Workflow event deferred to cron job(4): 1

0 out of 1 processes was finished

Im not sure where I should be expecting an attempt of an email to be sent (Im assuming runcronjobs.php as above) - and what I should see in the way of logging or error/success messages.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello Arran

Sending mail depends on MailSettings section in settings/override/site.ini.append.php . You should first check how is this configured.
