I have now succeeded in getting emails about messages I was subscribed to, and by reading the message sent have deduced what my problem is.

The email says,
"There may be more new replies, but this is the only notification you will receive until you visit the board again."

Because I am on a very slow connection, and I suspect the PGV server is slow too, I am getting the message:
"An error was encountered
Error: Could not connect to smtp host "send.vodafone.net" (110) (Connection timed out). "

1) Is there any way of increasing the timeout limit, so that the system has time to connect to the smtp host?
2) Because of the "only warn you once" system for sending emails, if the "could not connect" message happens once, the subscriber will not be notified that someone has replied to his post, even if more than one reply is posted. Is there a way of overriding the 'only once' flag?

Thanks again.

posting a reply to a topic that I am subscribed to, under different user names (both of which are subscribed to the topics)

emailing via the form works OK

I tried punBB-hosting too, and the subscription emails don't seem to work there either :-(

It would be very useful though to be able to automatically subscribe certain users to all new topics.

The situation is that someone has only GPRS mobile data access (i.e. not 3G) while they are away from base, so using the web is not practical. However, they still need to keep up to date with postings.

Would this be possible?
