Has anyone ever ever had a problem changing the Administrator email address
for Sharepoint? I've made the change in the Central Administration page but
the old address is still being used to send out alerts, invitations, etc.

Does the Sharepoint server need to be rebooted or something??

I think that the implementation is that the Alert information is stored at
the time the Alert is created (hence the allied problem of Alerts using the
site address in use at the time the alert was created).

If that is true (comments anyone?), then the only way would be to get users
to delete existing Alerts and re-create them.

It might also be possible to do this as Administrator using Jan Tielens web
part that allows the Admin to specify alerts for users (listed second here

The user email address is stored with the alert, but it may be changed if
the user's email address is changed in the Site Collection.

Matt, go into the Site Settings of the Site Collection in question and
verify the user's email address is correct in there. If it's not, adjust it
there and trigger another alert. That might fix it.
