Hi, I am not receiving emails from task lists in sharepoint... I have the send email on ownership setting set to yes but its not working. If it makes any difference, I have restored the web app from backup. Nothing is coming into the eventlog, schedsubscriptions or immedsubscription (I think I got those names right) tables. They are blank. The immediate alerts timer job seems to be running fine... which is what I assume is running the job. There isn't anything interesting in the logs. And the email never reaches our exchange server, so that's not the issue. Please help. Rob

I'm getting other emails from sharepoint, its just the alert emails that aren't working

Anyone? Any help getting this working would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Rob

Try setting the "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned?" to "NO". Save the Task list. Then go back in and seet it to: "Yes". Save it. This worked for me.

Tom you have just ressurected a 4 year old post. :) Matt @mattmoo2 @MattHughesCK EngageInSharePoint.co.uk Moderator Note: To avoid this happening again in four years time, I've marked a proposed post as answer and will now lock the thread.
