MyBB Community Forums

Hi all,

I'm new to MyBB and I've looked through the forums, but couldn't find my problem and the answer. So, forgive me if this has been asked before.

I have my new registrations set to admin approval. However, once a new member is approved, they receive no email telling them they can now login and that your account was approved. Is there any way to do this? Or do I need to send out individual emails each time I approve a member myself?

Thanks in advance!

have you checked to see if your board email settings are set to right ones

Well I tested a mass mail and it worked. Like I said, I'm new to MyBB, so I may be over looking something

also check with your host see if


sendmail and PHP Mail() is enabled

Try running the test script and post the results here.

I did not even know there was a test script sorry Melissa

Thanks guys. You know what? I was using gmail and the emails weren't being sent. I tried my domain email address and it worked. It said the email was sent. So, maybe I just need to change my admin email address?

Possible your host does not allow remote email addresses, seen it before.

I ran the test script and it worked. However, when I tried to register as a new member with a different email address, I still received no email notification. I don't know if maybe I'm not approving the pending members correctly or what? Any other ideas?

Try changing your admin email address to something @<yourdomain>. See if that works.
