Hello, I'm currently using PHP Mail for my forum.
But whenever people register, they do not receive their email from my forum to activate their account.
Can anyone help?
see
php mail documentation, run test mail file
check
system mail log at
tools & maintenance section of admin panel
I've tried the mail documentation, I get Mail was sent by PHP
And a moment later, I get the email too.
And the System Mail Log, there's nothing there :/
^ so, php mail is working. who is your web host ? can we have your forum url
Sent the information you need via PM.
I'm also having this problem, except it doesn't send to hotmail.
^ @KoolAidModz, may be your web host blocked mails to hotmail accounts.
So which is actually better to use, the PHP Mail or SMTP?
^ depends on quality of mail server. many prefer SMTP.
Google used to provide free mail service for web sites - gmail used to be a favorite SMTP server for many.
