We have a company website on our SBS 2003 server. Some of the users are not receiving email alerts to new General Discussion items even though their alert settings indicate that they shuld be receiving them immediately. Is there some other setting that is impeding the sending of the email?

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

it could be few factors
first you need to check setting for email alerts
try to disable and enable option again for receiving email alerts on the server and in the user accounts, also do the same on affected email accounts/workstations
and check if internal firewall seting different or affected email accounts/workstations using other software like pop up blockers, spam filters.. or even mail box settings
good luck
hope this helps:)

    Hi all, Baypond, We use a hosted email filtering service (Forefront Online), we have setup connection control on the SMTP virtual server - limiting connection to the 13no datacenter IP's that Microsoft advise. Clear all these and allow connections from all - restart the SMTP service and viola! Telnet sessions are possible from the SBS to port 25, sharepoint works sending all access requests / update notices etc. The only downside is that the exchange is open to receive mail from all and sundry and spammers could potentially bypass the hosted filtering service. Hope it works for you now. Do Update us again. Thank you Anil LEPIDE
