Does Mybb use php sendmail to send new account activations and lost passwords?


My host will turn on the php sendmail for a small fee, but I need to make sure that is what Mybb uses.


Any help would be appreciated.

MyBB uses the php mail() function which in turn uses SMTP which in turn is setup to use whatever your host has setup. MyBB 1.4 will allow you to manually setup a SMTP server for mailings when it is released (no current date planned)

On Linux servers PHP usually uses sendmail for its mail() function. You can see www.php.net/mail or refer your webhost to it.
