About half of the reviewer assignment emails were not received by our reviewers. Any ideas why? It seems that for some of our reviewers that their email limited file size, but this is not the case for all the reviews as some of the submissions are quite small.
It just makes us very nervous about emailing through the website.

This forum is meant for general questions about the usability of OJS from an everyday user's perspective: journal managers, authors, and editors are welcome to post questions here, as are librarians and other support staff. We welcome general questions about the role of OJS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.
What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OJS:
1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OJS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.
2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OJS basics as time goes on.
3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OJS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

Hi,
For many of our journals, the editorial staff has often forgotten that after selecting a reviewer, they need to click on the e-mail icon to actually send the e-mail. You may want to check with those performing this action to verify that they are completing this step.
If the action of sending the e-mail has been completed, does it show up in the article record's history as a sent e-mail? If it is showing up as a sent e-mail but is not being received by the recipients, there is also a possibility that there is a problem with their e-mail client. Knowing more about what's happening will be very helpful for resolving your issue.
All best,
Vanessa Gabler

The emails are showing up in the history, but we have many people who are not receiving them. It seems hit and miss, for instance we had a reviewer receive one request but not the other. We had some reviewers receive two or three requests and some reviewers receive none. All of the emails are in the history. For a few people we did find that their email system had rejected files because they were too big. However, this was not the case for everyone.

Hi kellygrossjstae & all,
Bug #8085 might be relevant; if emails are getting snagged because of Sender Policy Framework implementations, it may help to solve that. We'll be testing this a little further and writing up patches for existing releases of OJS (2.3.x and 2.4.x); if you're interested in trying this, sign up to be CC'd on the bug entry for when those patches are available.
Cheers,
Alec Smecher
