Configure email notifications

Notifications about new comments and user registrations must go to support@localcafe.com and to the site admin. Configure the email address for admin notifications to support@localcafe.com, set the 'From' name to Local Café Site, and send test emails for comment notifications and password resets to confirm deliverability. Tell Luis the tests passed and archive the headers of the test messages.

Before I hand these notification settings to the support team, make approval easy: surface the three likely deliverability problems (missing SMTP, from address flagged by spam filters, provider rate limits), list which admin notices will originate from which address, and mark any plugins that override the mailer so reviewers know what to test.

I set support@localcafe.com as the admin contact and test notifications are not arriving. I’m worried the host’s mail is blocked but I don’t know where to start. What immediate diagnostics should I run to confirm whether messages are sent, queued, or dropped, and what is the fastest reliable fix to restore notifications today?

Clients keep complaining that site notifications never reach their support inbox. Where do we repeatedly fail—assuming host mail works, not forcing SMTP, or no monitoring—and what one practice will stop these silent failures across all sites we manage?
