User Alerts

Hi there

situation:
our webmaster added a group and a few users on a page via Actions -> Alert Me -> Send Alerts To
the users are also viewable via Site Actions -> Site Settings -> User alerts
all neccessary users or groups are added for alerting.

problem:
even if everything looks okay, on just one site the alerting does not work when a user uploads a new document.

question: does anybody have any clue what i could test or do to correct this?

as i told, the same users work on another site, so it's not possible, that users or groups are not mail enabled.

thanks for any help.

I have set Alerts for 3 users on a Document Library in our Team Site in a MOSS 2007 environment.  Alerts go out for every other person I set alerts for, with the exception of this person.  Our Exchange Admin tracked down the Alert email and saw that while everyone else was listed, this person was not.  At the same time I turned on Verbose logging for the log files and found the PermissionMask failure.  The problem is I cannot figure out why this person is failing this check. This person happens to be a member of our IT team, as are the other people I added Alerts for.  I should also note that this problem occurs whether I add the alert for this person, or this person adds the alert themselves.  I have checked the permissions on the Library and they are inherited from the Site level.  When I check the permissions on the Site level, the IT team has Contribute permissions, I did then check the AD Security Group to be sure that this person is in the group, and they are. Any ideas as to why this would happen for this person only?  This person can access, and add content, to the Library which puzzles me more.  My next test will be to add this permission to the Site permissions explicity with Full Control to see if that matters. In Googling for this, I find a number of PermissionMask posts, but none that seem to address this specific pro

The SharePoint alerts would not go outside company domain. We have many partners users (some have active directory account and some are only in exchange 2007 contacts) and none of them recieve alerts. The internal users recieve alerts no problem there. I have setup relay in exchange 2007. From SharePoint webserver I can telnet/smtp to exchange on port 25 and able to send message. Not sure where  is the problem? can any one help?

Question from my staff was how can we limit an internal site from sending out alerts for all changes made from a site.  We only want to give users on certain sites the ability to view their own alerts when they post under their name and not view when others post to the site?  Reason being we are limiting users to view only what we want them to view and not all views are for everyone.  That is why we created certain pages to allow users access to see what is available for them or their group.  As it turns out if we limit them to this and they setup an alert to view all changes they bypass our security restrictions to view only what we want them to view.  They need to be able to contribute to the site and we don't want to create two sites for the same purpose.  That would just make matters worse so its best to keep all users adding to a single task database then having two of them use the same functionality.  There are other reason we don't want to create other sites as well but I just wanted to see if anyone out there has used been able to find out if alerts are manageable from the administrator point of view.

I know I can view all alerts for the site and remove those that user create but that defeats the purspose of having them set up alerts on their own.  We just want to disable the feature that any changes on the list ar

I created a team site as a sub site off our main site. I broke inheritance from the parent and added a new group and assigned that group a custom permission that has create alerts permission. Problem is when the end user goes to create alerts it throws an access denied error after clicking okay on the new alert page. I've checked and rechecked permissions and everything looks to be setup correctly?

Hi all,

Was wondering if i create an alert for multiple users at the same time and select to only send alert when "Someone else changes an event created by me", is sharepoint smart enough to know who to route alert to?

For example, I create an alert all at once for john, joe, sal and mike and select to only "send when someone else changes an event created by me." If Sal created an item and it was changed by Mike, will SharePoint know to send the alert only to Sal?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

When we use the out of the box wf in sharepoint lets say Document approval then it sends an email to the assigned user where user can edit the task with in email, they don't have to come back to Sharepoint to edit the task.

I am looking for a way so that i can send email to the user with the controls in the custom task forms. So that they can just Complete the task from email. they dont have to come back to sharepoint task list to edit and complete the task.

Is there any workaround for this.

Hi, I am new to this forum am relativly new to sharepoint. I have set up a Task page and enabled alerts for assigned to. This is working correctly and only the user the task is assigned to gets the initail email. However when anyone updates the task the email goes to a number of users not just the assigned uers. There are no workflows setup. The below notification should only have gone to the user without the line through there name. Is there anyway to change this?

Thank you
