    Is it possible to be emailed when a purchase is pending or awaiting approval?

    What I'm mainly referring to is myself. I had a pending purchase I didn't happen to notice because I didn't log onto my blog this weekend but I was checking my email and had I been notified of the purchase I would have been able to log in real quick and approve it.

    Is this a new feature request or is it already done and I've just missed it?

    It should do that by default (sends a 1 line message); it may mean that you have trouble receiving php generated emails to an email address using your domain.

    There is an alternative oiopub_mail_client function in include/misc-functions.php, if you have access to an SMTP username / password. To try it, uncomment the second instance of the function (and comment out the original), then replace the HOST, USERNAME, and PASSWORD variables with your SMTP details.

    Well I don't even see email messages showing up in my junk box for it though.

    Or are you saying that it's not even getting that far? I'm using Gmail now (auto forwarders so I can use my domain).

    I'm not sure what the cause would be; the script has the mail function setup, but it doesn't appear to be reaching you. Can you try using an admin address that ends @yourdomain.com, and see if you receive the mail then.

    I'm having this same problem. Also purchasers are not receiving emails asking them to pay if I send a reminder. Not sure where to start looking for the problem.

    I recently changed hosts and it did work fine before changing hosts.

    Unfortunately I don't think there's much I can do from my end, as the mail function used is a pretty standard one. Sounds like the host isn't processing the mail reliably.

    You could ask them whether they have any advice on how to most reliably send mail via php with them (and say you are having problems with the default php mail() function).

    I checked with my host and the problem ended up being that I was using a gmail email account in the oio settings and they block gmail because of spam. I changed that email to an email address from my domain and it worked great.
