Sharepoint Document Library Alert is generating a first email saying you have successfull created alert for Documents library,But it fails to receive the email through alert when a new item is created or modified in document library. I checked the timer job Status on the webapplication ( immediate alerts on Web Front ent & application server progress is 100%). I also reset using Stsadm -set property alerts-enabled ,job -immediate-alert But still i am not receving the email through alert when a new item is created or modified in document library. My Sharepoint designer workflow email work fine. So can any please update me with soultion for alert email issue for moss2007 document library.

I have never seen this issue before but here are my settings I have selected that do work for all changes to a library/list Change Type: All Changes Send Alerts for These Changes: Anything Changes When to send Alerts: Send e-mail immediately You can validate these settings along with any other alerts you have within that site by ... 1. Browing the the SharePoint site hosting the document library in question 2. Selecting the dropdown my your name in the top right hand corner 2. Selecting My Settings 3. My Alerts Hope this helps

Its weird. If Email works for workflow, no issues with SMTP. Did you check the id which you are trying to register for the alerts has valid email address, I would also try to validate this by adding alerts for couple of users. If it still fails, I would check the SharePoint logs for the clue. Cheers, ~Uday, http://www.mstechblogs.com/sharepoint

Hello Andrew & Uday, Thanks for posts !, Andrew I set exactly same setting as all changes to libaray/List, But it still doesnt work Change Type: All Changes Send Alerts for These Changes: Anything Changes When to send Alerts: Send e-mail immediately. Uday, it is Valid Email Id & alert work fine for my developement server, it is not working in Production. I also found that Ip address was not added in exchange server relay & i asked my network admin to add it to relay. I am still not receiving the emails. Thanks ! Sri

The SharePoint timer job 'immediate alerts' runs the 'immediate' and 'scheduled alerts'. If you look within the job definitions, has this ran successfully?Regards, Aaron www.aaron-rendell.co.uk

I checked the Event Viewer in Application Server & found that error saying Cannt Connect SMTP Host Event Id 6857 & found server was not able resolve the ip address of mail server & after fixing this, Emails where sent perfectly. Thanks to every one who posted on this
