MyBB Community Forums - not receiving emails

hello,

I am not receiving emails from the forums. I also checked the junk/bulk mail folder, still no emails.

Anything that I should check?

Thanx.

Yeah, check if you've enabled everything to receive mails. o.o

Yes, these are all checked.

I had done as this thread suggested, but since reverted back to the original...

see thread: http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=12604

I wanted to get emails, as the admin, everytime someone posted anything.

Thanx.

It would be nice if I can get an answer here...the forum is getting out of control.

That question/answer does not apply in this case. In that thread, the question was about setting email notification to yes but default.

I'm not exactly sure that you need, no emails are getting sent or you're looking for a plugin to notify you when somebody posts?

So is that statement.... 3.21 to 4.23 Expecting priority service maybe... ?

Have you tried clicking "Subscribe to this Forum" in each forum... ?

Hi Christian,

I'm not getting any emails, even when subscribed to the "email notification".

I'm wondering if looking at phpinfo if it can be of help to find out if the server I'm on is NOT allowing email notifications to be sent from mybb.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Ok. Paste the following code into Notepade and save as emailtest.php

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$to = '[email protected]';

if(mail($to, 'Testing mail', 'This is a mailing test to see if PHP mail works.'))
{
     echo 'Mail was sent by PHP';
}
else
{
     echo 'PHP could not send the mail';
}
?>

Remember to change [email protected] to your email address. Upload the file to you server and post what it says here.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for helping out.

OK, got the email.

FROM: [email protected]
Subject: Testing mail
BODY: This is a mailing test to see if PHP mail works.

Pretty weird.

I know, I don't know what to do...I contacted the hosting co and asked them about this, but they can't help, saying it's a problem with mybb.
