Can't get email digest to work.

Can't get email digest to work.

We are running Moodle 2.8.6, and I am trying to test the forum email digest. I have a test teacher with the "Email digest type" set to "Complete (daily email with full posts)". I go in as a test student and post a few discussions to the forum. I then run the cron by hand on my test instance, but nothing comes. I know the email stuff is setup correctly because my event monitoring notifications come when the cron runs (I have some events set up to be monitored). I also make sure to change the "Hour to send digest emails" to a time just before I run the cron.

I'm not sure what I'm missing. Can anyone assist?

Thanks,

Gary

Same problem here. I tested it running cron.php manually and it says that the mails are being sent, but they aren't.

Using Moodle 3.0.2, checked that emails are working (for no digest forum post they are being sent), cron is working, settings for receiving emails for the users are OK...

The cron response is:

Sending forum digests: Wednesday, 20 January 2016, 09:54
Processing email digest for user 3... success.
Processing email digest for user 4... success.
Email digests successfully sent to 2 users.
But it's not true, I can verify that because the email is sent through a service that shows me the log of every mail sent, and those mails never appear.

Can anyone help?
