    @Bhaski
    Whether this user and other users in the same domain?

    1. Open IIS 6.0, check whether SMTP service is start. If it is started, please restart it.
    2. Go to Active Directory, check whether the user's email is filled in correctly.
    3. By default the Email property is mapping to the proxyAddresses attribute. Go to Active Directory, right click the user -> Properties -> Attribute Editor, check whether the user has value for proxyAddresses.
    4. Go to Site settings -> User alerts -> Choose the user and click update.
