MyBB Community Forums

Hi, I just set-up my new forum and the E-Mail activation isn't working. Could you please tell me how to set it up?

Thanks.

BTW, BBoard is cool!

I just noticed that on my "Hosting Settings" page, it says that SMTP is dissabled, is this needed for send messages?

Ow yes sure, SMTP is the protocol for sending them

see ya

SMTP isn't needed for use in MyBB however.

MyBB makes use of PHP's internal mail() function (http://www.php.net/mail). To make use of this, PHP needs to be configured to use whichever MTA (Mail Transport App) your server uses.

You'll need to contact your host in regards to getting it configured correctly.
