Lets see... Users don't receive a password @ their e-mail, so I had to set auto-registration. SMTP (Yahoo) Email doesn't work either. What can be done?
See User Email Log on ACP, and tell us what is there.
User email, nothing. System mail. Whole lots of PHP fails.

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

SMTP
Quote:Unable to connect to the mail server with the given details.<br /><br />0: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
Who's your host?? Are you sure they even properly support mail??

What happens when you run this test for PHP mail?? [Wiki: Help:Mail] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead)
Godaddy.

Mail was sent by PHP
that is what i get and i received the email in junk.

Then probably your users will receive their mail in Junk folder.
Try using Google apps SMTP. Its much better than PHPmail.
I tried it myself and it ain't going into the junk folder.

tell me more about google apps smtp?
^ if you have a top level domain (.com , .org , .info ... etc) then you can register for Google apps
and get 10 free mail IDs for your site. so you can have [email protected] like e-mail IDs to use

OR you can also use your own gmail ID for smtp mail settings ..
Mail Handler: SMTP Mail
SMTP hostname: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP port: 465
SMTP username: [email protected]
SMTP password: password
SMTP Encryption Mode: TLS encryption

What am I doing wrong?
Port 465 is for SSL encryption.
So use SSL encryption in "SMTP Encryption Mode".
