Well I'd start at the log file, notifications.log. I can't quite recall where the default is, but I have mine in /var/log/hobbit/. <br><br>In my log, there is an entry for every notification sent out. If you see them there, I'd look for the problem at the next likely culprit - the mail sending utility.
