Hi

Sorry for such a beginner, vague question but here goes:

I'm trying to set up a post hook to send an email to me whenever a new event participant is added - that's my ultimate goal.  I've started by simply trying to implement the example on the hook specification site: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hook_civicrm_post  (I'm using CiviCRM version 4.1.6 for now).

However, I can't seem to get it to work - I simply don't receive an email.

I think I've done everything obvious:
  - created the appropriate directory and files with the example code copied exactly (except edited to include my real email address)
  - enabled the module on my drupal site

But if I edit or add a new contact no email is received.

Can anyone just really quickly point me in the next direction for troubleshooting this?  It might help to know that I can successfully send emails in all other ways from Civi (i.e. send one email to a contact, send bulk email, and the event registration confirmation emails and profile notification emails also work).

Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your help!

I've got it working now, after following your helpful suggestions, renaming everything with no underscores. 

But I also figured out that it only seems to work if the recipient email address is the primary email address for the contact.  In other words - the code sends an email to myself, and I have two email addresses in my contact record in CiviCRM.  The code apparently will send to the primary address but not the secondary address.  Is that a feature of the mail.php function in Utils? Or is that something strange about my secondary email address (which as far as I know works fine).  Or am I imagining things?

Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks Erik!
