I have one Drupal installation with 100+ web sites using it - none got eMail notifications until I set the "default" site to send them. So I get eMails now but this needs to be documented.

This is a GREAT feature for Drupal - great work guys....

Ok, I know what the problem is - it's how non-default web sites work with Cron.

My Cron runs automatically from my hosting provider every 15 minutes and the Default Drupal site sends eMails I believe but the 100+ other sites I have must individually run their Cron manually.

This is a bug with Cron and needs to be fixed.

Conclusion: the Notifications module will NOT work in any non-default web site of Drupal since Cron does not automatically run from them.

It turns out that my hosting provider, Powweb, maps all 100+ drupal sites to just one IP address and thus only the default Drupal site's Cron job get's executed. I have few alternatives but to find another hosting site to get around this problem.

The problem is NOT with Drupal but with Powweb' shared hosting plan.
