Notifications not added to queue

I've provisioned a Laravel Forge server and configured it to use redis for queues via .env:

QUEUE_DRIVER=redis

My settings for Redis in both config/queue.php and config/database.php are the defaults found in a new laravel project.

The problem is that when a mail notification is triggered, it is never added to the queue. It never gets to the processing stage.

I've tried using forge's queue interface as well as SSH into the server and running a simple

php artisan queue:listen

without any parameters. In both cases, no results (using the artisan command confirms no job is added to the queue).

Interestingly, I tried Beanstalkd:

QUEUE_DRIVER=beanstalkd

and suffered the same problem.

As a sanity check, I set the queue driver to sync:

QUEUE_DRIVER=sync

and the notification was delivered without issue, so there isn't a problem with my code in the notification class, it's somewhere between calling the notify method and being added to the queue.

The same configuration running locally works fine. I can use

php artisan queue:listen 

and the notifications go through.
