In reply to: Subscriber notification emails not going out after 3.6.1 updateThanks for your help and patience, Doug. On the bright side, I learned about the helpful Check Email plugin—very handy!
Marking as resolved
I had what seemed like the same problem for the last few days and just discovered the embarrassingly simple solution—email was indeed going out, but my copies were going to my spam filter (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/subscriber-notification-emails-not-going-out-after-361-update).
Also, for checking email without sending annoying test emails to all subscribers, try this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/
Resolved. Odd, but embarrassingly simple in the end.
I called my host (webhostinghub) and it turns out there was no problem with email at all—it was indeed going out. It turns out that both me and the two subscribers who told me they didn’t get the usual notification email had all of our recent WordPress emails end up in our spam folders (we all have the same berkeley.edu-supplied gmail, so apparently berkeley.edu or gmail tweaked their spam filtering settings).

In reply to: Subscriber notification emails not going out after 3.6.1 updateJust ran Check Email, and the email was successfully sent (or so it says).
It was not, however, received by me.
Check Email
The test email has been sent by WordPress. Please note this does NOT mean it has been delivered. See wp_mail in the Codex for more information. The headers sent were:
MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n
From: #####@#######.com\r\n
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”UTF-8″\r\n
SMTP server: localhostSend test email to: ######
Use standard headers

In reply to: Subscriber notification emails not going out after 3.6.1 updateAm installing Check Email now.
My host says my server uses exim, not Qmail.

In reply to: Subscriber notification emails not going out after 3.6.1 updateI deactivated the Jetpack plugin and most others (save a trusted couple that give the site necessary functionality), and I’ve changed from the twenty-ten theme I used to twenty-twelve. Now, of course, I’ve got no notification at all. Where do I go from here?
Thanks for your help,
Michael

In reply to: Subscriber notification emails not going out after 3.6.1 updateI’m sorry to say I don’t remember whether it was 3.6 or 3.5.x. Is there some way for me to find out (an update log, perhaps)?
I’ve tried to see if my server uses Qmail by going to my hoster’s (Webhostinghub) Cpanel to see what I can find, but I’m feeling more and more like a clueless noob.
What should I do to find answers to these questions and/or resolve this problem.
Apologies for being *that* customer tonight…

In reply to: Subscriber notification emails not going out after 3.6.1 updateThank you for the quick feedback. I’ll post my problem in the JP forum as well.
That said, I don’t know whether it’s a JetPack problem or a WordPress 3.6.1 upgrade problem; I just mentioned everything that changed between when I had a working subscriber notification system and when I did not.
Thanks again,
Michael
