When DPM 2007 email alerts don't work…

If you’ve configured DPM 2007 to send email notifications for critical alerts, warnings or informational messages, and you do not receive the email alerts, even though the ‘Send Test Email’ works fine, try this:

  • Enter the username simply in the format username. Do NOT use DOMAIN\username or username@domain

If you are entering multiple recipients for sending notifications on the Notifications tab, make sure you separate them with commas (,) and not semicolons (;). If you enter semicolons by mistake you get an error that the FROM address is invalid.
