Quote:MyBB was unable to send the email using the PHP mail() function.

Why can't it send a mass e-mail?
Does this work?? [Wiki: Help:Mail] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead)
I think it's this: Test the PHP mail

It doesn't send the activation e-mail either, so I disabled that. I get the same error. How do I fix it?
What dod you mean "I think it's this"...?? Did running that test file send an email or not??
No, that's the issue.
Right, so that said 'PHP could not send the mail'?? If so you'll need to ask your host about it, or use SMTP mail, as that's core PHP mail() failing there.
Thank you Matt, I'll talk to my host. Smile
Hello, same problem here. Cannot send mail. The thing is that i am
not on a hosting company but on a private server maintained by me.
How do i troubleshoot this?
It would have been far better to make your own thread, rather than bump a 3 month old one which has been marked as solved... Undecided

Are you using PHP mail or SMTP mail...??
I am using phpmail
also did the php mail test stated in the above links and i cant send a mail.
Running the php script from the terminal it seems that
sendmail is not installed. Let me check this out and come back
to you.
installed sendmail but still cannot sent e-mails.
