Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

• In Sandbox web, create a WebNotify with only yourself in it.
• Set up a mailnotify cron job to run every minute. Do not add the -q switch. Redirect the output to a writable logfile.
• Make changes in the Sandbox web
• Watch the mails pour in - or not.

Some possible reasons for it not working:

1. You don't have permission to read all the topics
2. The user running the cron job can't write the logfiles
3. Your mail configuration is broken
