SharePoint 2013 alerts not sending emails to users

Worked on this all day yesterday and to no avail.
Followed up on every one of these fixes and they are all correct/have been run.
http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2012/02/sharepoint-alerts-not-working-troubleshooting-checklist.html
I got a telnet session to work as well but still, no alerts are being sent to users when something changes.
I poked holes in the firewall, set up a receive connector in exchange server as well.
In outbound email settings, I tried putting in the IP address and the server name (which both should work) but nothing happened.
Any suggestions anyone?

could you please give us more details about the issue.
Alerts not working for every body or few users?
Users on network or out-network i.e gmail etc
Any error in Uls Logs?
using the exchange server, are your server part of Exchange relay?
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Exchange 2013 wil NOT send email, same problem as every other exchange 2013 user, typical everything.

I have a brand new dell server 2 netwrok cards. One WAN one LAN connected, each with its respective DNS server added to the card. In OWA the sent email shows in drafts, in outlook it shows in sent items, the user NEVER gets it, internally or externally.
i get all mail from the internet, exactly as expected no problem, all tests show this is working everything checks out fine, server runs great, full blown domain controller with exchange 2013 added. ONLY problem after the 9th install, is still the same, exchange
will NOT send email, everything else works perfectly event log looks great. I do see the DNS error where a DNS server on that network card is not responding crap, which is not true, internet works, al pages everything, NO firewall Bare connect while i get
it to work. I HAVE been over the forums for the last week, tried all done all. i am an MSCE, was an MCSE instructor for 10+ years, Exchange Administrator, Exchange instructor for years, so yea, i am not some newb who has no clue, this DOES NOT WORK. it

logs, and that DNS error on the event log, and YES i made the send connector, and the 3 setting it asks, not like that could be wrong, i mean seriously you put in very little info, any wrong entry would be obvious to even a child. SO walk me through what is
going worng, as soon as this server sends an email, i am done building this domain, Please Help here.

How to force sharepoint 2013 to always send email as one user?

Hi!
In our organization we are limiting the ability to send email to groups for authenticated users only.
this causes an issue with Sharepoint, where a user cannot share files with a group.
Since sharepoint is authenticating anonymously - the sender is not authenticated.
I did some research and the suggestions are to set the SPS as SMTP server and use it as a relay for the exchange server while using authentication.
this does work, but i'm having a new issue where the authenticating user must be granted the "send as" permissions for all other users, and I don't want to do that.
Is there a way to force the SPS to always send as a specific user?
any other suggestion is also welcome.
TIA,
Assaf

Hi Assaf,
According to your description, you want to set the outgoing email address always to be a specified one in SharePoint.
Per my knowledge, if we have configured the email address in the Outgoing e-mail settings in Central Administration, the emails sent from SharePoint will always use this email address to send the emails.
What did you mean by granting “send as” permission to all users?
Best regards.
Thanks

BPM Alerts not sending email notifications

Hello Experts,
I've successfully configured BPM within SolMan and alerts are being generated but I'm not receiving any email notifications. In the setup of Business Process Monitoring, "Contacts" have been maintained within the Solution Directory as well as the notifications section of the monitoring type with a sender and a valid recipient address . Both yellow and red alerts are being generated but no email notifications are being sent. Thresholds have also been maintained.
Researching other threads regarding this same issue points to tcode RZ20->SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors ->All Monitoring Contexts->BPM->Activate Maintanance Function-> and assiging Central auto reaction methods to MTE Class BPMRoot Context and the other BPM_APPMON_* MTE classes. Is there something that I am missing in order to have these alerts send email notifications when the alert threshold is reached?
I also defined the new Central Auto Reaction method and maintained the parameters properly which calls FM DSWP_BPM_SEND_ALERT. Please assist as I have exhausted all options. Please provide a step by step guide to setup alert notifications if possible.
Thanks
Mike

Business Event Local System
Enter the Workflow Business Event System Name and System Processing Status.

Oracle Periodic Alert -Not sending Email Notifications

Hi,
I configured a periodic alert in my test and development instances. I had a SQL Query in Select Statement. When I verified the SQL Statement Oracle Alert successfully parses the SQL Statement . When I run it rows are getting selected. I defned Actions, Action Set, Action Set Details, Action Details. In the Actions Tab---> Action Details I listed out the persons to whom Mail needs to be send.
I checked the below ones...
Notification Mailer is Up
Periodic Alert Scheduler is Activated
But the notified persons are not recieving mails.
I has one more question
Is that if the Select Statement after parsing doesnt return any rows... Alert will not be triggered. if it returns 0 rows.
What else needs to be checked.. Let me know if you can sort it out...

Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS.
What is your ATG patchset level? If you are on ATG RUP4 or above, then please confirm that Oracle Workflow is configured and working properly with no issues -- Check the Workflow log file for any errors.
Is the issue with all alerts or specific ones only? Can you reproduce the issue with all end-users for the same alert or with specific users only?
Please see if these docs help.

GRC 10.0 Alerts not sending email

HI everyone:
We have set up our alerts. We have created a couple of custom critical action functions and risks and assigned risk owners to the critical action risk.
We have scheduled the following jobs:
GRAC_ACTION_USAGE_SYNC
GRAC_ALERT_GENERATION.
When we go into the NWBC screen to view the alerts, the alert data is being generated successfully online.
However, an "alert email notification" is not going out to the risk owner. The risk owner has their email address populated on their user master record (they receive emails for Firefighter so that is working fine). We have reviewed the config parameters and don't see anything related to alerts?
Does anyone know why we might not be receiving alert emails??
My GRC 10.0 is SP13
Thanks!

Hello Cristian,
Please, check whether the below notes are applied in your system:

Sharepoint Server 2013 not sending Email notification

I have a Sharepoint 2013 farm that is not sending any kind of email notifications. I also have a Sharepoint 2010 farm whit the same Outgoing Email settings and it is sending emails notifications normaly.
The SMTP service (the role) is in the same member servers of the 2013 farm, so it is reachable. The timer service is running well in both member servers of the 2013 farm. We don't have an On-premise Exchange enviroment because we use Office 365 (I cannot
set the sharepoint servers as allowed to relay in Exchange). The 2010 farm and the 2013 farm have the same Outgoing Email settings, I don´t know why the 2013 does not send emails. It is driving me crazy!.
How can I solve this?

What about Relay and Authentication?

This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs.
Look.
I think this is the correct configuration because it sends emails normaly with SharePoint 2010.
If I configure my own email account in Outbound Security, Sharepoint 2013 sends emails but just when I login to Sharepoint, if other users login it doesn't send emails.

SharePoint alerts not always emailing users

Hello,
We have an imediate email alert set up for our announcments on SharePoint 2013. We have about 100 users that will get these alerts.
the issue we are seeing is users intermitently get these alerts in their email. One day all users will get the alert. The next day a user will not recieve one alert but will recieve on that is sent later in the day. Some days there are a few users who do
not recieve any alerts.
It is not permissions as they all have "Read" access.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the alerts were not always sending emails to users.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Track Mail server if the email is getting delivered and not rejected by mail server.
Rules on mailbox receiving email - Junk email folder.
Reset Timer Service: 1)
Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Administrators group on the local computer; 2)
Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services; 3)
Right-click Windows SharePoint Services Timer V4; 4) Stop and start the service; 5) Stop/Start the service by right-clicking the service name in the Services console, and then clicking Stop/Start.
Check the Immediate Alerts timer Job for particular web application in Central Admin and click Run Now to see if the emails can be received.
Best regards.

Custom email not sending to external user

Hi All,
I am trying to send email to user through custom C# code, its working fine until i send to external user such as gmail etc. How to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Hi
Sam
First
check whether you configure outgoing e-mail settings, if not, please refer to the following article to configure outgoing e-mail settings. After determining which SMTP server to use, the SMTP server must be configured to allow anonymous access and to
allow e-mail messages to be relayed.
Configure
outgoing e-mail settings (Office SharePoint Server)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263462.aspx
For
sending mail to external user your SMTP server must have Internet access or it must be able to relay authenticated e-mail to a server that has Internet access.
Please Mark As Answer if my post solves your problem or Vote As Helpful if the post has been
helpful for you.

Users quota- not sending email windows 2008 server r2

I have setup quotas in File Server Resources Manager, when I test sending emails, it works ok I get email from FSRM, but users doesn't get email when they reach quota even when they are on 100%. When I check Source Template Limit for each user I can
see that system sends email, but users not getting any email.
All users have email set in User Properties in AD.
What can be wrong?
I never left an open problem....I search, dig and ask, until it's solved....

Hi,
What external mail server do you use? Please try to create a receive connector with basic authentication only & anonymous permission on the mail server.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the links below

My ical calender does not send email alerts anymore, now what?

The alerts are configured correctly, if I look at the alert it says that an email will be send (for ex. 09.00 the day before). However when the moment comes, the email does not. Can anyone help me with this one. This is the case since the upgrade to Mavericks.

Hi Patrick, I have the same problem as does everybdy else I guess - it just wont work!
I have set My Card in address book, tested it 100 times and whatever you do it ill not send an email alert? Everything I see on forums blah blahs about setting my card in address book and hey presto but none of it helps.
Someone MUST know if it will ever work or if it is another issues that apple will never resolve, instead they will just ruin a perfectly nice looking operating system by updating it and making my phone icons and notes / bookshelf etc look like it was bought from Toys R Us instead of an Apple store!
Did you find a solution to iCal not sending email alerts? DAVID.
