Hi Jared,

This is bug, thank you for reporting.

for fixing this open this file components/com_community/controllers/system.php, find this code :

if (!empty($values['emails']) && $methods[0] != 'groups' && $methods[0] != 'events') {

if (!empty($values['emails'])) {

Nice! I see that the email function is working but sometimes the messages are blocked when going to an address that is not registered with the site. Can you explain why this might be?

I just test it and not be blocked

I used four valid email addresses and only one succeeded.

we are using mail library from Joomla core code.. I am not sure why your email is going to blocked, but the result when the code send it the result is false, so jomsocial set it as blocked...

This still doesn't work. I just used 2 valid email addresses to send invites by email to. Something is weird. Please take a look.

please you send a email to that email, can you do that? send sucessfully or? please let me know how it goes.

I've sent an email successfully from my personal gmail account.

I see, I think your email server is overload, please you try edit this file administrator/components/com_community/default.ini, find this paramater "totalemailpercron" and change the value to the smaller value.

How small of a value would you recommend? It is currently at 150. Would something potentially not work right if the value is too small?

you have very active activities on mailq, so your server cant handle it.. please you set it to 50 or 150, and run your cron every 15mnt or 1 hour, just for making sure your server won't over load

I set totalemailspercron = 50 and cron to run every 5 minutes. Tested twice and still does not work :(
