    Hello - We're running MOSS 2007 Enterprise, and alerts are not working properly.  If I create an Alert on my lists I receive an e-mail.  However, the problem is that if I add an item to a list to which I've subscribed, I do not receive an e-mail.  I tried running the stsadm commands that were suggested here, to no avail.  I still do not receive e-mails when changing a list.

    In addition, if I look at Timer Job Status in Central Admin, I have two Immediate Alerts jobs; one of the jobs has a status of failed.  I suspect that has something to do with it.

    Can anyone suggest a way to get alerts working again?  Thanks very much.

    Hi,

    I recommend you to try the following:

    Using STSADM to make sure that the alerts for that particular site are set properly:

    stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url <http://yourserver/problemsite> -pn alerts-enabled -pv true

    stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url <http://yourserver/problemsite > -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv "every 5 minutes"

    Best Regards, Ammar MCT
