When your user creates an alert they receive the Alert creation email but does not get Alerts emails when items are added or changed. Users able to receive the alert creation email indicates that the Outgoing email setting has been configured correctly. The Event Logs also not showing any error message.
If you are facing the above mentiond problem, try to check the Timer Job Definitions from the Central Administration Page. If you cannot see Immediate Alerts job in the Timer Job Definitions, then you have to do as follows:
1) Open Dos command prompt.
2) Browse to the directory that you can access stsadm.exe. It is usually stored in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin
3) Type the the following 2 commands:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url http://sharepoint-girl.com -pn alerts-enabled -pv true
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url http://sharepoint-girl.com -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv "every 5 minutes"
The 5 minutes here will cause the Timer to send out alerts email on every 5 minutes. This means that, even if you create the alerts to send email immediately, the email won't be sent out immediately. It will be delayed for up to 5 minutes.

hi ,
I am totally struck the alerts are blocked some where for me i am not getting any alerts for any account
That's helpful. I got, exactly, this problem.
I have the exact same problem, but these suggestions haven't solved it. I notice that in my Time Job Status page, the 'Immediate Alerts' jobs for the WFE server have all failed. Do you know how I can check to see why? I'm unsure where to look.
Interesting article on how to resolve time job failures for alerts.

HI, After running first command, i see this message
http:\\sharepoint-central-admin-url is already routed to the Default zone of another application. Remove that mapping or use a different URL.
Please help
My hopes ran high as I have exactly the same issue...unfortunately I still have the same problem.
Do we need to change/add anything in the Alternate Access Mappings? Does anyone have any additional steps or a direction to go in? Thank you - Jim
Thanks - that solved the problem for me - now receiving several hundred backed up alerts from the site. 8^)
