Hello!

Got a strange troubles with email notification:

If type of registration set as 'Send random password' - all works fine (users always get the emails with password)

If registration set as 'Send email verification' - System Mail Log shows errors:
'MyBB was unable to send the email using the PHP mail() function.' (for php-mail)
or
'Unable to connect to the mail server with the given details.<br /><br />111: Connection refused'
(for smtp-mail)

Same error appears with password recovery emails requests & any notification (like 'new PM' or 'new Post')

This: http://wiki.mybb.com/index.php/Help:Mail - does not help (test script works fine, and , in any way: mails with random password were sent OK.)

My BB 1.6.5 , GoDaddy hosting

Suggest your ideas please. This is a big problem. I can disable the registration confirmation, but without mail password recovery is impossible.
Make sure the SMTP server, username and password are correct.

Yes, it`s correct. The issue does not depend on the type of mail - PHP or SMTP.
