Question Email not leaving system.

Judging on the unsolicited testimonials posted to this forum, not everyone speaks highly of GoDaddy. You be the judge .

I realize that. Godaddy bought the hosting company I used. So this time I thought, why not try godaddy.. They don't tell you very important things like ... Grid Hosting for Linux does not offer CGI access which kills a lot of Linux apps and mail functions.. They were happy to switch me to Legacy hosting off the grid but i would have to kill my site and re-install ...

Not cool.. Just getting a cron Job to function is a bitch.. They pretty much say you can use cron but you can't use get or wget or lynx - source..... Soooooo.... What the heck.. they hacked the system so badly that only an idiot would sign up after going through this the first time..

OK.... This is the dealio....

All messages are going in and out.. I got cron fixed.. what is not happening ....

Messages from the forum are severely delayed even if I add a new email address it still goes to my old email address....

Any thoughts on this?

As far as Kunena is concerned, email is pretty much an all-or-nothing thing. Either the system generates e-mail whenever topics are updated, for those people who have subscribed to those topics, or it doesn't generate e-mail. There's no "e-mail runs slow" halfway measure (as far as Kunena is concerned) but these kinds of things can certainly be attributed to other causes and it's not beyond the realm of possibility (or probability) that your webhosting provider can provide a key to unravelling this mystery.

As far as the issue of "adding a new email address" (I don't quite understand what this means) is concerned, a good rule-of-thumb is to make sure that the e-mail address used on your forum is the same as the email address defined in the Joomla Global Configuration section. Why it transpires that emails are "going to your old email address", well that could be due to a variety of causes ... and this topic is in danger of going off onto all different tangents if we're not careful. Perhaps there's some server caching involved, perhaps the email address wasn't saved properly in the Joomla user table, or maybe we've got a couple of different accounts. I really don't know how to explain this phenomenon.

Time to wear the deerstalker hat, use the magnifying glass and, if necessary, "eliminate all the possibilities and, no matter how improbable, whatever remains is the answer."
