Title: Does Subscribe2 use loopbacks Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Does Subscribe2 use loopbacks * Resolved [Zoee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epixmedia/) * (@epixmedia) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/) * Hi, I’ve installed subscribe to but can’t get it to send any emails. I’ve checked with my host and nothing is blocked unless the plugin uses loopbacks… * Does it? And if not how can I test further to get this working?? * Cheers! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Matt Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattyrob/) * (@mattyrob) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/#post-3751161) * [@zoee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](http://www.example.com) the email should be something like [admin@example.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/admin@example.com?output_format=md). * Thread Starter [Zoee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epixmedia/) * (@epixmedia) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/#post-3751175) * Hey, I’ve tried using an address the same as the domain. It is a sub domain though… I’ve also changed the settings so it sends an email for each new post added to try and avoid the cron incase that is in fact causing issues, but still no luck 🙁 * Any other ideas pretty please? * [Matt Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattyrob/) * (@mattyrob) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/#post-3751231) * [@zoee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoee/), * A few things to try, install an email logging plugin in WordPress: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-log/](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/](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? * Thread Starter [Zoee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epixmedia/) * (@epixmedia) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/#post-3751431) * Hi, I’ve tried both of those with still no emails coming through via subscribe2. Are you able to login and check this for me today? I’m happy to pay for your time… * I really need to get the website delivered. * Thanks, * Zoe * [Matt Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattyrob/) * (@mattyrob) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/#post-3751436) * [@zoe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](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. * Thread Starter [Zoee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epixmedia/) * (@epixmedia) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/#post-3751437) * No worries, what’s your usual hourly rate? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-subscribe2-use-loopbacks/#post-3751438) * Please note that we do not allow discussions regarding commercial work here.
