Revision history [back]
There are two kinds of alerts: "instant" and "delayed". Instant should be sent, if you're not receiving them - either your account is configured to not receive email or outgoing mail server is not configured in settings.py or your outgoing mail server has trouble delivering email to users' mail boxes.
There is a number of management commands, sending "delayed" email alerts, please have a look in "askbot/management/commands" or here http://askbot.org/doc/management-commands.html These commands can be run with cron jobs.
Also - your user profile must be set up to receive email alerts - it's available in one of the tabs in the user profile page. Default settings for that are in the admin "settings" menu.
The pre-requisite is a proper email setup of the Django project - please see relevant Django docs for that.
If you are not ready to set up your own mail server to insure successful email delivery - there is an option to use a mail delivery service such as mailgun, sendgrid, etc.
