# Subscription Enabling

 * Hello everyone!
 * I want to enable the subscription facilities in my website so that every time
   I add a new post, an email is sent to the user who has subscribed.
 * 1) Post Notification
    2) Mail Press 3) Subscribe2
 * But I failed to get even one of them working. I am not able to configure that
   wp-mail-smtp plugin either properly ( I saw in a few forums, it is necessary 
   to have wp mail smtp plugin too)
 * Please help me out with this.
 * I am using free x10 hosting services now, and I might move to Expertrio soon.
   Does this have anything to do with the hosting settings?

 * It’s almost certainly down to hosting restrictions.
 * [http://x10hosting.com/wiki/What_are_my_email_settings](http://x10hosting.com/wiki/What_are_my_email_settings)
 * The page above notes that there are hourly / daily limitations on sending emails
   and also states that to use sendmail() (as the above plugins all do) you need
   to ensure that the ‘sending’ email address used actually exists in cPanel on 
   the domain you are using.

 * Okay, just help me configure MailPress or Subscribe2 from scratch, what do I 
   do after installing the plugin?

 * Presuming you have set an email address up in cPanel, visit the WordPress administration
   area and go to User -> Add New. In here set up a new user account at administrator
   level using the email address from cPanel.
 * Then go to Subscribe2 -> Settings. Near the top of the page where is says “Send
   Email From” select that same account name in the drop down list and make sure
   the option for “Restrict the number of recipients per email to” is set to 1. 
   Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click Submit.
 * Then give it a try and see if it works.
