If Moodle's cron job is not running at regular intervals, there won't be forum mails. See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Cron. To find out why, increase the https://docs.moodle.org/en/Debugging level to maximum and post the output here.

You know, you can check Moodle sending mails independently by either requesting a "Forgotton password" via e-mail or writing somebody a message? See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Messaging.

Hi Visvanath,

The puzzle has been solved. I called my domain server company. They figured out Moodle generates an automatic no-reply@mysitename.nl address whilst sending outgoing mail. It doesnt exist, so it came in their spam filter. Now I have made an email alias with no-reply@... and its working like a charm.

Thanks for you help!

Highest regards.
Thijs

You see? "Not sending mail" is not the same as "not receiving mail".
:-?

The two cases where Moodle definitely tries to send mail must have narrowed down your search and led to the mainitainers of the mail server.
