Ive installed MyBB 1.2.12 (1212) on my laptop (just to test it before I use it for real) and It installed fine but it won't send emails when I register a
new user or when I use the Mass Email feature.

I have the Exim mail transport software installed, its running Ubuntu 7.10, and I can send emails no problem using Evolution (Linux mail prog similar to Outlook).

Do I need sendmail to be installed or is there a way of getting it to work with Exim?

sendmail needs to be installed or however PHP handles the mail function. Check php.ini for your configuration.

you need to configuration your SMTP settings, and allow php mail function () to get it to work..
and you can use Wiki:Mail to test your mail function

Got it working!

Just changed the path to /usr/sbin/exim -t in php.ini

Hope this helps someone
