I have suddenly facing an issue relating to Task Notification by email. All was working perfectly but now people from my site do not get an alert email when a task is assigned to them.

By Alert email I mean the default email which Sharepoint sends. It is not a workflow made by us but its a default feature.

I use WSS 3.0!

Can someone please help me out as many people from my company are dependant on email alerts only & its frustrating when a task goes unattended.

If you need more information from my side please let me know.

Thx!

Check the timer jobs for Email Alerts in Central Admin, something might've stalled or fallen over.

    Also, in the task lists settings (I think in Advanced Settings) there is a "Send e-mail when ownership is assigned" checkbox. Be sure it is still checked.
