I can't answer your question but hopefully someone can.

I may be wrong but I have heard before that Dreamhost mail can be a problem – at least I believe they have a low count on how many emails can be sent at the same time. Might be a problem if someone were sending PM's to a lot of members.

Wordpress + Email + Hosting is a long standing problem.

Same problem here at ps3community.ch. Some users – like me – don't receive a mail when they get a new PM, although the setting for sending such a mail is active, the spf mail settings set and the email (info@ps3community.ch) set up as a “real email” as well. We are hosting on dreamhost and the mail is done by gmail.

Will this mail plugin solve this issue?

I have the same problem with you before, and the worst is, it's sending mail to my own mailbox.

Try to install WP Mail SMTP plugin.

If you have an access to your CPanel or Webpanel, try to look for your mail configuration then use that information to configure the plugin.

Ok the plugin is working fine for me. I also have deactivated the mail override settings in the forum options, just to be on the save side.

The strange thing is that I as an admin don't get notified when I receive a new PM. When I open a test acount (a hosted one as well) then erverything works fine.
