Full Version: Email notification not working

Hi,

I'm trying out MyBB and it looks promising. I'm contemplating moving over to it for our private forum.

However, I'm having some trouble with (instant) email notification. I've set up my testing user account to be subscribed to threads with notification method: instant email notification. However, notification emails are never sent, or at least, never arrive (and they're not in my spam box either).

When I send myself a private message, the email notification <i>does</i> arrive. I've also tested the PHP mail function following this: http://docs.mybb.com/Help-Mail.html -- and that worked perfectly.

Hoping you can help!
Thanks,
Mrs_Often
Anybody?
Get a decent hosting and check that you can actually send email through your hosting account! Upload a simple email PHP script and test that baby out!
