Virtuemart isn't sending out emails to the store admin

[mikepwp]

I'm not exactly sure when this started occurring, the webstore is a rather small one, and only gets orders once a month or so. Evidently they received notice from the credit card processor that an order had been made, but they didn't get anything from the store. I think that the customer did get a confirmation, just not the admin.
The site is running Joomla 2.5.18, Virtuemart 2.0.26d and PHP 5.4.
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be are appreciated!

Check setting for "Default Order Status to send email to vendor " in Configuration/Checkout

[mikepwp]

The Default Order Status to send email to vendor field has these:
Confirmed by Shopper
Confirmed
Cancelled
Refunded

Should I add Pending to the list?

I would also check:

1) Global configuration > server > mail settings are configured correctly.
2) Virtuemart > Configuration > Shop > Email settings > use vender address

The global mail settings are good (using PHP mail).
The 'Use the vendor email address' field is checked.
