I have a problem related alerts. It is working okay with all site collections I have tested except one. Interesting part is when I apply alert in any list of that site it sends mail that alert has been applied successfully but after that for any change nothing happens, I do not receive any mail for any change.

Any help regarding this.

Can we have something on code level by which we can force an alert on particular site.

Thanks in advance :)

  • Is this site collection in the same web app as other site collection you have tested. Alerts can be disabled for a web app.

  • Try 3rd party alert&reminder solution, for example JungleBell which is the simpliest. enovapoint.com/sharepoint-alerts-reminders

Please check the permission of that user for the list on which you are setting alert.

The user whom you intended to send alert, should at least have Read permission on that list.

Hope this will help you.

Alerts are sent by timerjob "Immediate Alerts".

If you have multiple servers SharePoint farm, check that all servers that have service "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application" enabled have permission to sent messages via smtp. You can use telnet to check.

"Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application" service should be enabled only on WFE servers.
