Every time someone registers on my site does not receive an activation email but an admin must activate his account manually can someone help me please? I use PHP mail
Dont used PHP Mail… the best setting its SMTP Email, You should change the MyBB settings in the ACP to use SMTP to send email… check info:

- Email Set up
Have a look at the mail FAQ in the docs.  Start there:

https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/faq/mail/

Mail can be a slippery slope depending on many factors - some out of your control.  But go though that doc and empower support to help.  I'm no expert - lol.
In my hosting PHP Mail was deactivated for security reasons as it is the most used to send SPAM, besides sending private information through the network without any protection and in plain text. The use of SMTP will guarantee that everything is encrypted and the information will not be violated.

Php mail its not a secure option, the board software mybb its amazing but need some setting customizable to bring a better support for users.

Check Cpanel PhP mail imfo: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/arti...going-spam


Try to set up software MyBB with SMTP… its the best option for security of your host and users
