MyBB Community Forums

Hi,
i recently installed mybb on http://teamsik.cu.cc/forum/.
But when I create a test user, I found that my forum is not sending any email. I tried both smtp and php mail option.
In smtp mode it is saying :

Quote:Unable to connect to the mail server with the given details.<br /><br />110: Connection timed out

Then I test my php mail using these two script:

<?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'; 
      } 
?>

and:

<?php
$to      = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'A subject';
$message = 'This is a test';
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
   'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
   'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

It successfully send emails.
But when i go with mybb, it isn't working.

I tried

ini_set("sendmail_from", " [email protected] ");

in function.php and below code as Additional Parameters. But no results.

Quote:From: [email protected]\nReply-To: [email protected]\nX-Mailer: PHP/5.3.24

And one more thing i should mention that my hosting provider said that both mail functions are running smoothly. There is no server side issue(s).

Kindly help me!!!

You're not alone here, the mail doesn't work on my forum either... I doubt it ever will, furthermore what good is making this software since the mail doesn't work. Having it installed on a server is just taking up space and it's worthless.
It appears my previous posts about this subject and others have been deleted says it all about this forum software and the mods here. Be my guest and delete this reply too and my account here. Here's some free advice if you want free forum software where the mail works switch to Phpbb and delete mybb and you'll be glad you did.

Sometimes, your Hosting server doesn't allow to connect to SMTP e.g. Godaddy.

And regarding PHP mail, you need to contact you host to allow mail using a particular email id. They do it to prevent forum from spam.

I don't need to contact my host because my site is on a VPS, php mail works and doesn't work with mybb, works with Phpbb.

I'm having same issue, a solution for this will be nice.

thanks for a reply
i was really feeling lonely here.
As i mention, i used phpmail test script provided by mybb and a script with custom headers both working fine.

Now i think i should go with your advise and delete that.
