Well, in my search to figure this out I tried following the instructions at jodohost.com but that didn’t make any difference.
the SMTP plugin is in and activated and from what I can find, configured correctly. I assumed it was necessary to have this activated in the my-plugins directory in the first place. If not, I ‘really’ don’t know what I’m doing.
I played around with the notification.php file a little and succeeded only in moving the error line around from 23 to 22, blowup, to 19, blowup, 23. I was rather please with myself with that considering I ‘really’ don’t know what I’m doing. Post-Notification doesn’t “just works” tho’. At least not for me.
