When I click 'Keep me updated', a "link" to the object is put in 'Personal > My notification settings'. That works normally. But when an object is created, deleted, modified, etc., I don't receive any e-mails. I've put a notification on 'Root', so I should receive everything. If I click 'Run notification filter' in 'Setup > Notification', I do get e-mails...(oh yes, and they're sent to three addresses; two of them are mine (though I can't figure out why there are two of them) and one goes to nospam@ez.no. Why is this? Can I fix this?)
And a question about cronjobs. Is there any way to add a cronjob through the admin console, or do I have to have 'command line access'.
Thank you very much.

The 'Keep me updated' notification only sends out notifications when an object is published, not for created, deleted or modified.
nospam@ez.no is the email set on the default admin user (admin/publish), just edit the user and set a more sensible email address.
Cronjobs must be set using 'command line acccess', the cronjob should use the operating systems cron handling to get periodic execution.

Okay... thanks!
Unfortunately, I still have the problem that no e-mail is sent whenever an object is published.

^ ^ ^
Anyone?
[edit] I have changed every 'nospam@ez.no' into my e-mailaddress, but I still have the problem the e-mails are sent to three mailaddresses. I don't think this has anything to do with a wrong e-mailaddress in some kind of .ini file. I think these addresses are in the database somewhere... but where??[/edit]

The email addresses are stored in the database table eznotificationcollection_item which are linked to the table eznotificationcollection.
If you problems with notification it can be that your tables are not up to date, did you do a fresh install or are you using an upgraded install?

It's a fresh install...

Does the server use sendmail or does it require a SMTP server for sending mail?
Are there data in the tables or are they empty?
Friday 18 July 2003 1:12:08 am
Sendmail.
The tables contain no data.

I'm guessing that you have three users with notification, is this true?
You should take a look at the table ezsubtree_notification_rule and report back what is inside it.

Let's see...
There are 6 records in ezsubtree_notification_rule.
3 * nospam@ez.no 2 * myaddress1@domain.com1 * myaddress2@domain.com
So... Three different mailaddresses. The ones that are used in the e-mail.

All right, I deleted the mailaddresses I don't need. That is going pretty well now. Thanks!!
But now I still have the problem that e-mails are NOT automatically sent... I have to click the button 'Run notification filter' to receive e-mails. Why is that?

The mails are only sendt periodically. This is because it is too heavy on the server to send mail when e.g. an article is published. It can be pretty many e-mails and it would slow down the publishing process very much.
Also this is a general system, so the triggers can be different things. E.g. time.
