Emails don't work

Hello everyone.
I installed mainwp, configured everything, linked my sites.
It works really well but I have a problem: I do NOT receive ANY notification emails … no notice on the availability of updates, nothing!

I installed WP Mail SMTP with sendinblue and theoretically everything works but I never get the mainwp’s :frowning:

Hi Gianluca,

Thanks. Report looks fine.
Just to be 100% sure, can you tell me if emails have been working normally before you installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin?

it is a new installation, on my server I have no email service and I use this plugin (the test works) for sending

Hi Gianluca,

Thanks for verifying that.
Can you please review the MainWP > Setting > Email Settings one more time and verify that the correct email address is set for the included emails and make sure that are all enabled?

yes it is correct
I specify that MainWP is installed in a VPS

Hi Gianluca,

Would you mind opening a private Help Desk ticket so we can collect some additional information & investigate further?

ok, i open ticket
let me know what data I have to send

Upon further investigation, I found that the WP Cron is not working properly on your website.
I installed the WP Crontrol plugin to your website to see what is going on, and the plugin showed me this error:

There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was: Unexpected HTTP response code: 503

As per the plugin documentation, the error 503 means that the problem is caused on the server side.

It may be best to contact the hosting provider to review server logs and see what is preventing the WP Cron to function normally.

From the checks carried out, it is the All in one Wp Security and Firewall plugin that gives problems
happens to others?

I haven’t seen it before, but it might be best to check with the plugin author about this.
