so you're on Joomla and CiviCRM 4.1.2 I think that one had issues w/ mail, specifically the cron may not kick off the mail, can you upgrade to 4.1.5 ?
I'm on Joom 2.5.6 and civiCRM 4.1.5 , I'm using google apps for email.

hi level you need to check three things:
1) civiMail account,
2) civiAdministrator to declare outbound mail method ( I use SMTP ),
3) and you'll need to make sure your civi Site keys are all set the same (there are two of em. )

these are the two site keys, I would make the one found in the administrator directory, the dominant and only key   

/home/rsttho5/public_html/wose/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php   define( 'CIVICRM_SITE_KEY', '1fffa4abbb83929fc272d739f3f23872' );
