I've spent the better part of the past three days trying to get basic drupal notifications working using the messaging and Notifications modules but no luck, I cannot get a basic function like page node creation to send out an email.
Other elements on my site work fine sending out email such as registration & custom rules. I am sure I am missing something obvious but don't know what that is. So I would like to hire someone to just get this done and then I can learn from it to see what I did wrong. You can use the contact form in my profile to contact me. thanks.

Have You Set Cron
Messaging and notification modules in general use cron to send out emails at pre defined time. Have you set up and run cron?
Yes, I have Cron set to run
Yes, I have Cron set to run once an hour and looking at the site logs, there is no issue there, Cron is running. Thanks.

Really bizarre, for whatever
Really bizarre, for whatever reason, Notifications are now working. The worst part is I am not sure what I did to get them working so for now I am all set.

Consider using Rules next
Consider using Rules next time - way more solid imo.
@arski -- Yeah, I like the
@arski -- Yeah, I like the way rules works better, I agree in theory. However, I am using the domain access module and it seems for that, Messaging and Notifications is more flexible. I could not get rules to send an email to a site admin for a specific domain when content was created -- I filed an issue over at domain access and it seems there is no solution which seemed odd to me but nonetheless... Thanks.

It turns out Rules can't do
It turns out Rules can't do this at the moment but it's being worked on for a fix, see this issue: http://drupal.org/node/932460
(I found the best way to do what I need here at the moment is with Node Triggers and Actions, better than Notifications and Messaging.)
