MyBB Community Forums

I have installed the forum software and it works fine, but if a user registers, they do not receive an email.
Is there a configuration I've missed?
What method does it use to send mail?
I am only running it on Localhost at the moment while I am developing the website.
Please help!

It'll just use PHP mail by default, can you send emails from other scripts locally?

Does it use PHPMailer?
I have used that and it works well.
If this is used which is the script that sends the mail?

I checked my Web Host and they use PHP Mail, but that is not loaded on my WAMP server.
Any tips on how to get a copy and install would be appreciated.

Maybe something like this might help? MyBB allows you to use SMTP too if that works.

Did not realise that PHP mail was part of PHP that I installed.

Made the PHP.ini changes suggested, but it still does not work.

Any ideas!
