Does Subscribe2 use loopbacks

@zoee,

Subscribe2 doesn’t directly use loopbacks but I suspect these will get used as part of the core WordPress cron functionality that would be used by Subscribe2 to send digest emails.

To be totally honest, I’m not sure I’d believe your hosting provider. Very few providers have totally open and unrestricted email sending capability on their servers these days as they’d soon become a haven for spammers and rapidly be blacklisted by the rest of the internet.

Make sure that you have configured Subscribe2 to use a send account (Subscribe2->Settings, Email Settings tab where is says “Send email from”) to a user account that has an email address defined in the User profile ending with the same domain as your blog. So, if your blog is http://www.example.com the email should be something like admin@example.com.

@zoee,

A few things to try, install an email logging plugin in WordPress:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-log/

That will tell you if emails are being generated.

Try installing an SMTP plugin to push the emails via an email server instead of using the web server:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/

Do you get emails for comments? Do you get an email if you go to the WordPress login page and click for a lost password?

@zoe,

I can take a look later tonight after I get finished at work.

Make a donation here so I can contact you when I get home: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=2387904

It’ll be in about 5 or 6 hours from now.

Please note that we do not allow discussions regarding commercial work here. Please contact the plugin author directly.

@zoe,

Sure, it’ll be later though.
