Full Version: Activation E-mail not sending to Hotmail

Hi Guys,

I already did some searches on this but came out short. My activation e-mail is not sending to hotmail addresses. I tested on a gmail address and it works. I wonder if it's something that mybb specifically blocked or if there's something I can do about it.

I am using php mail and I don't see anything wrong in my error logs.

Please help.

Thanks
Hotmail is probably blocking mail from your host. I'd advise using SMTP mail instead.
You'll also want to make sure your domain has all the proper email records in DNS: SPF, DomainKey, DKIM.
Big mail hosts will often deny or spam emails with bad/missing records.
If you don't understand any of this, ask your host. (A good host should know what to do for you.)
