SharePoint - Sharepoint email alerts setup but not sending

Asked By Mar

I am trying to get the Sharepoint email alerts to work on Sharepoint 3.0.
When I set them up I receive an initial email saying that the alert has been
setup, but when there are update (such as adding a task) no email alert is
sent.

Why won't the email alert send?  How do I fix this?

Make sure the sharepoint timer service is running.  Also check the timer job
status section to see if there's a job that's stopped or blocking ... also,
check through your event logs of course.

A virus checker blocking port 25 might be an option too.

Timer service is running.  I did a quick test and found out that backup
through sharepoint isn't working either (when test timer), not sure if this
would be related.

Status section shows everything in there Succeeded.

Not sure what to look for in event logs, but nothing related to sharepoint
seemed to be in there.
