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.

Hi
This issue has plagued me for a few hours on an otherwise sucessful SharePoint 2013 implementation. I thought is was an issue with persmissions on notifciation timer job.
I ran the PS test and immediately received an email – However I will instruct IT to follow the steps mentioned inc the important “enable annomous users ” bit .
Will report back.
