I was just wondering where the setting is so that myBB on my website will send out emails.
I tested it once and the email didn't send. Obviously it requires a SMTP server or something.
anyway, thanks!
MyBB sends mails through the
mail() function of PHP. If you are on a Windows server, you should configure a SMTP server in your php.ini. If you are on a Linux server, you should set your sendmail program in the php.ini. By default, there currently isn't a way to send a mail through MyBB directly to a SMTP server.
so I currently can't send mail if im on a shared server?
Im only on an account so yeah. anyway, ill talk with my host.
No, you should be able to if your server is configured to correctly send mail through PHP as we use stock PHP functions to do so. I'd try emailing your web host to see if the mail function for PHP is correctly setup and their mail server is also set up.
