PHP 5.3.3 mysql 5.1.71 mediawiki 1.22.1

I have one user who never gets email alerts from her watchlist. I have defaulted her preferences. Her email is verified. Out of ideas.

And all other users do get emails?

Something special with the e mail address? Some "strange" signs in it?
Otherwise I think the user's spam filter takes the mail out. Providers have lists of IPs/host names, which they consider spammy. I know of cases where mails from these IPs/hosts got deleted without notifying the mailbox owner.

Yes others get email. I confirmed that there is nothing odd about the email address

It's not getting caught in a SPAM filter as I never see an email leave the wiki server in the sendmail logs

Then the problem is somewhere on the wiki server: Either in sendmail or in MediaWiki.

I know this is a fairly old post, but was this problem ever fixed?
