Forum failing to email notifications

[jimimaseye]

... again.

I noticed I had no notification of posts for a couple of days.

It has been failing since the 16th May. (No emailing means no joining verification emails and no joining means no spam posts. I guess that's the upside).

I hope Martin sees this message.

ActionEmail error

Could not connect to smtp host : 110 : Connection timed out

Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to mail.hmailserver.com:25 (Connection timed out) at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1122

I didn't keep track of the date when this started but I am experiencing the same issue.

I did notice that the Notifications were seemingly being made but it seemed that what was failing was the actual sending of the Notification Email.

Didn't at first realize what the significance of the Error you posted in your above posting. Taking a closer look at it, it seems this error must be what I discovered, that the actual notification email was failing and not the creation of the Notification.

Also note: In hMailAdmin>Diagnostics an error will show for the testing of connection to mail.hmailserver.com on port 25:

should be fixed now

It is fixed now as I received the Email Notification from the Forum regarding the Post you made in this topic advising us that this issue was fixed.

Thanks.

Worth noting that notifications are failing again (since 29th)

I can confirm that too as I wasn't notified by a new posting on one of the Topics and I wasn't notified of jimimaseye's post on this topic. Once you are logged into the Forum, you do see the notifications. You just don't get the email which notifies you that their has been activity in the Forum on the Topic you are watching. That is how I was aware of jimimaseye's posting here.
