When users sign up to my forum, no activation email is being sent. The registration process is set to send an activation email. I'm using PHP Mail. Thanks in advance!
Site:www.techworm.org
I have tested
The message I got:
"Mail was sent by PHP"

but there is no email in my inbox.
Recently I have changed the host. I think I have to modify some setting. But don't know what to modify?
Somebody Help Me..I can give ftp details to the staff if they need..?

If you're not getting emails with the test script then you need to check with your host why this is happening coz as you have seen the emails are not going through even with a basic script.
You could also try SMTP mail instead of PHP
Shall you check via ftp?
I had the same issue as you. The activation emails do work, you just need to configure the email for your hosting's form mailer to use. You need to go to your hosting, and go to your file manager, and then put your email address there for php mail to send from in the form mailer place.

If you don't do that then it will say "Activation email sent" but nothing will be sent since you did not specify an email address in your hosting control center's form mailer. Go and modify that form mailer's settings and add an email address.
Please give me screenshot. It will be helpful I am noob in this stuff.
I got this email from my roundcube email account which is my cpanel feature

You need to follow up about this with your host, unfortunately theres nothing we can do via ftp to fix this.

I got the error. The host blocked his own ip for sending emails..

From the return message you're getting it seems the ip your site is hosted on has been sending spam and has been blocked by gmail. It may not necessarily be your site thats sending the spam but another site on the same host pointing to the same ip may have done so. It has also been blocked by a couple other blocklists too
http://www.mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?...6.4.23.136

Again, you have to follow up with your host about this and to try and get yourself off the blocklists.
Or just change your host.
