Hi all,

I am having some troubles with the e-mail notifications that bbpress can send to subscribers. I use the WP Mail SMTP pro plugin to send e-mails from the website.

WP Mail SMTP pro perfectly handles wordpress native e-mails, such as the account activation links for new users, password reset links etc.

It does not appear to send the bbpress messages through this SMTP method. Nothing to see in the logs also.

Does anyone has had a similair problem? Is there a setting for this? Or does a custom function fix this issue?

Thank you in advance!

Hey @robin-w,
It is indeed a new site, a new problem and has never worked.

Think its worth mentioning that I am pretty experienced, but never used bbpress so I thought i’d reach out here.

bbpress ends subscriptions to noreply@mysite.com with a bcc to the subscribers.

A lot of email systems don’t like this, as that email address does not actually exist and/or the bcc’s make it look like spam.

so 2 things you could do

1. amend the sending from address to one that exists usiing

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails and amend the email address

2. use

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

which whilst old, still works as far as I know
