First up: You cannot get email notifications for activities that you yourself performed. You *must* test with a different user - I hope that's not your problem.

Typical problem #2: If you've set up a different mailserver than localhost, then you need to set up the maildrophost as well. There's a separate config for the asynchronous subscription notifications, you'll find this in the buildout.cfg file in the maildrophost section (just search for smtp in it). Override this in your user.cfg simply by adding the same section and lines, but with different values. You only need to add lines that you want to change.

Oh, and you have to re-buildout after you do this, of course. But then, you already knew that, right? :)

Wow, that's just to change SMTP server's address ?
I'm rebuilding right now, I'll let you know if it's working.

Is that mention in docs ? I guess I missed something !

Thanks !

I just put

[maildrophost]
SMTP_HOST=myserver

in user.cfg, removed .installed.cfg, rebuild, and restarted cyn.in

I understood from the conf that batch is executed every 120s, but I got nothin

Ok. Check if your notifications are getting spooled - these will land in the directory <buildout>/var/maildrop/spool.

Also, did you start the maildrop daemon? :)
That's ./bin/maildropctl start
It a basic daemon that just polls the spool folder every 120 seconds and enqueues all emails in the folder to your SMTP.

No, I did not start it, and notifications are present in the spool. Lets see in 2 mn :-)

Working ! Thank you
