[ckan-dev] Trouble setting up email notifications

Wed Mar 12 19:02:14 UTC 2014

You're reading too fast: you're not getting an error... you're getting a
success:  ... "success": true, ...

:)

Look at your server logs to see if there is an error or a success
message... or nothing. If you have nothing in your logs, it means you have
no notification that needs to be sent.
