Even with the latest (July 15, 2008) hotfixes applied, I still see this error in the SharePoint Logs.  I am working the issue with Microsoft Support by creating a Virtual PC 2007 SP1 image that demonstrates the problem.

Wow, thanks a ton for posting this.  I had built this nice, complicated browser-enabled form with a ton of logic and conditional workflows associated, then at the end when I incorporated groups into the workflow-generated emails, it stopped working for almost everyone except me.  I narrowed it down to permissions, but I couldn't figure it out when thinking about traditional permissions.  Since new groups default to "Group Members Only" on who can view, it became obvious what my problem was when I read this post.  I switched each group to be viewable by Everyone, and my workflows immediately began to work.

The problem for me was I was getting no errors and was only getting the "Stopped" message in the workflow column, so I had no idea where to go.  I eventually narrowed it down to the exact point in the workflow where it was stopping (right when sending the first auto-generated email), but I had no idea why it was failing until now.

Save my life, thanks for this.

I have a copule of workflows that stop prematurely usually at the Wait stage when it is waiting for the status to change. I do not why it just gave up waiting. Wonder if anyone can give me some help here.

Wait for Approval Status to equal to 0;#Approved

It seems to fail here. It just stopped

Thanks

Alerts and sharepoint out of box workflow emails are working.

But the custom worflow emails created by sharepoint desginer is giving an error  " The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly."

Thanks,

Sam

This was driving me crazy. THANK YOU!  

Thanks ..... Nice Solution....

Currently it's working fine ....  

Hi,

I am not able to see the workflow status in the workflow column when I convert the list to Data View.

Please help me out here, what do I need to change in order to see the workflow status??

Thanks in advance.

Have a similar problem with SharePoint Designer workflow not sending an email when a new post is created. But my case is that I specified the email addresses to send an email instead of groups. It is working before and just suddenly stopped working.

I get the status of "Failed on Start (retrying)".

From the event logs it shows the Event ID: 6875

Error loading and running event receiver

Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAutostartEventReceiver in Microsoft.SharePoint....

figured out my issue,  I'm using a Survey and workflow from a survey response is not supported as per KB 926370

I have a similar issue.  I have a workflow condition that basically should do the following: "If Modified by SP Group" then email to Created by.  I took out the dashes in my SP Group Name and "allowed everyone to view" the SP Group. My workflow is as follows:

IF modified by User in Column X

OR modified by SP Group

AND Mgr Approval = Rejected

AND AP Status = Approved

AND Column Y = No

Email to user in Column X

Set Column Y = Yes

My email does not get fired off and Column Y does not get set to “YES,” and workflow status says IN PROGRESS.  

Any suggestions?  

I can get it to send emails to individuals but the mails to groups are not getting out.  I've ensured all four points are correct in your list above; however, still no-worky.  :(

Thanks for the post.  This really helped when we were about to release a sharepoint site to the company only to find out a lesser user couldn't send e-mail to another group.
