When I select the "Notify Me" option for a board or a topic, I am never notified by forum message or email. Email works fine for Report to Moderator and when I click on the email icon for a forum member.

In Maintenance > Mail > Settings I have the SMTP mail type selected with appropriate values.

In my profile:

-- the "When sending notification of a reply to a topic, send the post in the email" is selected.
-- For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me: Instantly.

In the dropdown for the line just below that (For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me of:), what do you have selected? And I can assume you clicked 'Save Settings'?
DO NOT pm me for support!

Thanks for your reply, Steve.

I've selected and saved "Replies and moderation"  in the "For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me of:" field.

Additional information.

The log shows this error: "Couldn't get mail server response codes"

I searched for that string in the community and found these posts, which suggest an update to an SMF PHP file:

I am not using Gmail as my mail server in this context. I'm using a domain email from my web host, but perhaps it has the same issue as gmail.

I might try the suggested PHP update as there seems to be no other solution.
