I just set up a standlone SPS2013 installation on a Server 2012 Standard box.
I have outgoing email settings configured and for the most part, those are working. Alerts to documents and lists are received. And when someone is “followed,” those emails are sent and received as well. However, email notifications for newsfeeds are never received.
I found a few mentions of this on the MS Technet forums and the suggested fixes in those instances were a.) an additional MX record for SharePoint and b.) authentication methods settings for the send connector on the Exchange server. In both cases, the details were very sketchy and I’m not sure it applies in this case anyway.
Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a symptom of the limitations in a standalone enviroment? I know the User Syncronization server isn’t the same as in a Farm Envirnoment…
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Stephen, thanks for your replies. I apologize for not following up, my emails from @sharepoint-community.net were caught in our Junk Mail filter and I just now realized that someone had replied to my post.
I was thinking it was a limitation of my ‘standalone’ environment, so I’m in the process of creating a virtual farm (this is a back burner project for us at this point.)
I’ll review your steps thoroughly and post back to the community ASAP. Again, thanks so much for your effort!
