Event Notification Not Firing

Hello All,

I set up an Event Notification to fire when a deadlock occurs. I also setup SQL Alerts to make sure DBAs are alerted to deadlocks one way or the other. The problem is, the EVENT NOTIFICATION does not seems to fire at all. I simulated deadlocks and made sure that the Alerts do email DBAs. The Alerts work but not EVENT NOTIFICATION. Any suggestions?
