MyBB Community Forums

Hi all,

I am configuring mybb to send email to other users. After sending the mail and checking the inbox, the mail is not present.

Tried running the script from mybb wiki, it returned : mail not sent.

error log from apache returns :  

PHP Warning:  mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: SMTP server response: 501 &lt;testdv1 &lt;testdv1@emaildomain&gt;&gt;: &quot;@&quot; or &quot;.&quot; expected after &quot;testdv1&quot; in C:\\Apache\\htdocs\\msp\\mybb\\inc\\functions.php on line 194, referer: http://rcc15/msp/mybb/member.php?action=emailuser&uid=7

running winxp/apache.

thanks in advance

PHP's mail function doesn't seem to set up correctly, I assume you manage you're own server?

Also, do any other PHP Scripts send emails correctly?

yup i am running my own server.

but when i set the sendmail_from to my email in php.ini,

i am able to get the mail.

still quite new to this

I believe you'll need to consult the PHP Manual on how to set up the mail function correctly.

I'm no expert with the mail() function, I don't run my own server. Sorry.
