Hi All,

Finally I found a soln for the problem I faced. What a silly mistake I have done!! he he…I have a set too many alerts for the users for that list. But whenever I navigate through the ‘Action->Alertme->view y existing alert on thi site’, it was not showing anything, but When I lookin the user alerts page, I mean ‘Siteaction->site settings->odify all site setting’ under site adinistration click ‘useralerts’. i’m able to see morethan 1 alerts set multiple times for the list. I selected the unwanted alerts and deleted…..now its working fine!!!!

Thanks,
Raghav A J

Hi All,

Few days back I had an issue with the alerts, wherein my team is not getting alerted whenever there is a change in the lists. I had resolved this issue by deleting one of the aborted timerjob (Upgrade timer job) and later all my team members got a chain of alert mails ( all the mails which were not delivered).
Following is the problem I’m facing now:
As per the alert setting, a mail will sent to the nominees whenever there is a change in the list. Now all my team is getting morethan 1 alert mail for a single change??????
Few people will get 2, few will get 11 and so on.. all the services and timerjobs are working properly.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance,
Raghav A J

@Yves – are your alternate access mappings (AAM) setup correctly?

@JFD - If you want to modify the email alert messages then you've got 3 options. 1) Make your own alert templates - but the problem with this is they are web application wide so any changes you make will effect all alerts coming from that web app for that particular list type 2) Implement an INotifyAlertHandler - need some fairly serious development resource to make this work 3) Use a 3rd party product such as - blatant plug - our Reminder web part which allows you to easily customise the email message on a per list basis and much more beside! http://www.pentalogic.net/sharepoint-products/reminder

I don’t receive any message when i create the alert from http://www.website.com but if i create it on the localserver http://localserver
it works fine!

I’m looking for a strategy or method to limit the amount of information contained in an alert. The alerts we see contain all of the information contained in the submitted record – I don’t want that sent via email (unsecure). How do I generate an alert that just provides a link to the list without the record details?
