I have setup my help desk to email out when a ticket is created

I only have one user which is me (admin)

All the options are ticked to notiy admins in ticket creation

I have tested the SMTP which emails out fine, it also emails me when i close a ticket.

The only time i cant get an email from spiceworks is on ticket creation or ticket updates.

why is this??

Can you post a screen grab of your Helpdesk settings and user settings?

Do you have a mailbox set up for Spiceworks and if so can you see the emails in there? Have you set up any rules on that mailbox?

im not using a mailbox/incomming emails

just want SW to email out via my SMTP server

its working for all the alerts and tickets i close, just doesnt mail out for tickets created.

Ok, you have a slightly different setup to mine, have you tried creating a new user and setting the notifications on that, it may be something to do with using the admin account (that is a total guess btw).

i can give that a go.
