I have the same problem. Any solution to this?

It looks like the code, by default, sends the message to “noreply@” followed by the domain, with all the intended recipients in the BCC field. I end up getting 3-6 bounces per message due to the “delayed” notifications. It thought it would go away after someone (else) had subscribed to the topic, but that is simply not the case.

The code needs to be only slightly more sophisticated:
1.) it should NOT send an email if there are no recipients (because… logic)
2.) the “from” address should be “noreply@<domain>” or otherwise configurable

I’ll see if I can work up a patch if I’ve got sufficient free time (unlikely, but I’ll try). Anybody know the who/how/where of it?

You are not alone 😉
I started a topic a few days ago, with the same problem.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/noreplydomain-com/

My problems started with one of the new bbpress versions.
2.5.4 was working fine. 2.5.5 or 2.5.6 had the noreply error…

you can configure the noreply email simply with:

add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com';
    return $email;
}

bbPress uses BCC for sending subscription emails and the noreply email is used as to field. This is for better hardware (cpu and memory) usage as if you were to loop each user subscribed to content it would be troublesome.
you can change that default to email address as well with :

add_filter('bbp_subscription_to_email','my_bbp_subscription_to_email');
function my_bbp_subscription_to_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
    return $email;
}

I hope this helps.

The only email header being set is the From name.

Also I am using Easy WP SMTP

see if disabling this plugin would fix the issue.

@jturet

did you disable the SMTP plugin or did it magically just work again??

Hi all!

I am having the same issue. I tried using the code snippets provided by xenous (thanks for those), but they didn’t work 🙁

jturet, if you could explain anything you tried to resolve this issue, we’d really appreciate it. We’re a bit stumped and SMTP/Mail server issues are beyond any of our expertise here. Thanks!

Hey all. I wanted to follow up on this in case anyone finds this through searching..

We found out it was the bbPress Private Replies plugin that was causing this on our setup. This plugin overrides the subscription emails, and it uses it’s own code (that doesn’t remove the www) to generate the noreply email address.

I am planning to submit a pull request, but you can cowboy code it and fix with this change:

In bbp-private-replies.php on line 250 use this code:

$do_not_reply = '<' . bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() . '>';

Been happening to me lately. Not sure why.
I use WP Mail Bank for SMTP

Glad to hear it, another thing to consider should someone come across this in the future is that I discovered part of the reason some emails were not being sent is that they were being incorrectly filtered as spam by some mail servers.
