After some investigation, it appears my mailing provider (SendGrid) warns against using “noreply@yourdomain.com” as the sending email for many reasons and will drop your email if you do so. Apparently I missed this important point while setting up the service. I looked though the logs and found a bunch of these:

No wonder no one was getting their notifications!

Temporary fix (Warning! Hacking core files is bad, this is only for the desperate, like me, and will break as soon as you update the plugin):

“noreply@…” This is the default that bbPress uses to send its notifications from. I simply created a new email for the forums, “forums@mydomain.com” and set that as the “noreply” email address in bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on lines 1065 and 1205. everything is working fine now. I realize this might not be the solution for everyone as other people in this thread might not be having the same issues as me, and it is certainly not a permanent fix, but at least next week or so the users on my site will be receiving their emails while I investigate this further.

This is happening to me as well. If I try to use any sort of SMTP mailing plugin, no notifications are sent from bbPress. Disabling SMTP fixes it, but that is hardly a solution. I will be following this topic closely for a solution.

bbPress: 2.5.4
Wordpress: 4.1
Email plugin: SendGrid
