# [Plugin: Subscribe2] Admin not getting new subscription emails

 * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-admin-not-getting-new-subscription-emails/)
 * WP 2.7.1
    MYSQL 4.1.21 Subscribe2 4.13 Apache 1.3.41 Sendmail 8.13.6.20060614
   FreeBSD 4.7 Release p28
 * I have recently installed the Subscribe2 plugin on site A and copied the plugin
   directory to site B. Both sites are on the same server.
 * Site B works as expected.
 * Site A works with one exception, I am not getting confirmation emails as an admin
   when someone has successfully subscribed or unsubscribed to the blog.
 * There is nothing in the apache log/maillog/messages log that indicates any issues.
 * The configurations for site A and site B are identical.
 * What am I missing?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * There is an option to turn these notification on and off in Settings->Subscribe2.
   Are you certain that the setting is toggled to ‘Both’ under ‘Send Admins notifications
   for new:’.

 * Im having the same problem. This is my background. using 2.7.1 and I am using
   a hosted gmail account with my domain. I cant get any conformation emails sent
   to me or any emails sent to my admin. But WP will send out email to everyone 
   else who does not have an @mydomain.com email. I am not using any other plugins
   but Subscribe2. It took me two days of reading and trying different methods to
   get my hosted gmail account working. I even tried my free AOL and free Gmail 
   with 4 different SMTP plugins along with my hosted gmail settings to no avail.
   
   ive got send Admins notification set to both. The only workaround that I have
   found is to change my admin email to one of my ‘free’ emails and forward that
   my main gmail hosted account. *shrugs* took me a ton of time to figure out how
   to get all emails sent and received. The biggest mistake was using my own emails
   for testing! there are a TON of people who have hosted gmail problems. I hope
   some find my fix. but I am still looking for a ‘cleaner’ solution.

 * Sorry for the delayed reply. Wish wp.org used some kind of comment notification:-

 * I have the setting you are referring to set to BOTH.

 * Obbyboy1969,
 * I think there is an issue in the current WordPress core relating to servers connecting
   to themselves – this may be the root cause of your problem.

 * Does the self email issue apply to you?

 * I don’t think so as my other WP sites on the same server work fine.
