Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted June 24, 20231 yr My forum stopped sending emails again. I'm currently using AWS SMS. Everything seems to be working fine on the SMS side according to the AWS SMS dashboard. Emails sent from outside the forum seems to coming through just fine. Also, I have an error with repeating log entries that will not repair. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
June 24, 20231 yr Could you please clarify what emails you're not receiving? When sending a test email to myself, I received it without issue. Both errors there can be ignored as that is from close to a month ago and has been resolved. It will soon be purged from your System Log.

Thanks for the response Jim. I get the test email too when I enter my personal email. But the SMTP settings that point to AWS SMS isn't working anymore. It was working fine up until June 12. That is when I received the last registration email and instant notification emails from topics that I am following. Edited June 24, 20231 yr by CrashPush

Have your Notification Settings changed in ACP -> notification bell (top right) -> Notification Settings? Would need "A new member has completed registration" set to "Yes" for email.

In the ACP, click on the "Support" link at the top right and it'll tell you the PHP version in use on the next page.
June 26, 20231 yr Have you since resolved this issue? Im not seeing any issues at this point, and test emails send out with no problem at all.

I only have a "Get Support" and all I see is PHP8 Compatibility Scanner and with a check mark and "No issues identified".

You are on our Cloud, you will not be able to see the PHP version and there is no need to as we handle this 🙂 . You have a few different third party applications/plugins that require upgrading. Please ensure everything is compatible and try again. If you still have an issue, I would recommend disabling third party applications/plugins as you have a few which interact with the member code.

I disabled all third party customizations and it made no difference. Still cannot get emails from the forum.
June 26, 20231 yr You have changed your validation method to Email and Admin validation so you will not receive an email once the user is fully registered. Only once the user requires validation. Of which, is working perfectly fine through my testing. Please ensure that you have enabled the notification "A new member requires admin validation"

I am fully aware that I will only get an email when a new user requires validation. Those are the emails that stopped receiving as of June 12. If I may ask, what testing are you doing that it is working for you?

June 27, 20231 yr Solution The above being the case, its extremely likely this is being blocked by your incoming email provider. I would advise on checking this first of all

I would advise on checking this first of all Yes. So after digging around the SES configuration, it seems that the email address I use to send out notifications from the forum landed on a complaint list. I believe that a user subscribed to a topic for instant updates was responsible for it. After the user was satisfied with the information received they started marking the emails as spam/junk instead of just unsubscribing (Unfollow) to the topic itself. That would have stopped the emails from coming in instantly. With AWS SMS showing nothing wrong on their end I thought everything was fine with their service. I'm still learning forgive me.
