Hi guys,


How come the email notifications or the register activation email is not working / not sending any email?

I'm using XAMPP.
which mail system is used at MyBB mail settings ? does system mail log has any errors ? if so post its latest entry

Mail handler: PHP mail

mailoutput map is empty. Though in the control pannel its set to "log everything"
can you try test mail => http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/faq/mail/

Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\xampp\htdocs\mailtest.php on line 4
PHP could not send the mail
php configuration file (~/xampp/php/php.ini) should consist of below segment
(without semicolons at beginning)
SMTP=________________
smtp_port=_____
sendmail_from = _______________
sendmail_path = "_______\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t

Didn't work. Also gmail is blocking the login.
looks like now gmail account can't be used to send mails from sites / forums [see this & this]
can you try using some other mail account ..

Okay so I got it working with hotmail with the test file, it does send the email,
BUT its not working with the forum?

For example I wrote one of my account a private message, no email notification..?
XAMPP is running locally, is it? Your ISP is probably blocking :25.
