SharePoint not sending alerts? I found one fix for that.
I had a problem where SharePoint was set to send alerts to users (in this case, when tasks were assigned to them), but it was not sending the alerts to everyone. It turns out, that if a user is not explicitly a member of any SharePoint groups, they won’t get the email. I had put “DOMAINDomain Users” into the “Contribute” group (easy permissions that way), but adding the users to a group is what I needed to do for those alerts to get sent out. Hope this helps someone else out!
