[Mail] Activation Email Problem

[Fahadking07]

Hello guys,

Got a problem again . Whenever anyone register on my forum or try to contact me through email, they don't receive activation email nor I receive their email.
Can anyone guide me how to solve this problem ?

Please try the following mail test script: [Docs: Help-Mail]

If this test says it could not send the mail, or it said it sent but you did not receive any email, even in your spam/trash folder, then the issue lies with your host. If you receive the email from this test, we will investigate the issue further.

I can vouch that a change of host solved exactly this sort of problem for me. The old host had had been used too often by spammers & spambots, so was blacklisted

Good luck!

{
	global $mybb;
	static $mail;
	
	// Does our object not exist? Create it
	if(!is_object($mail))
	{
		require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/class_mailhandler.php";
		
		if($mybb->settings['mail_handler'] == 'smtp')
		{
			require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/mailhandlers/smtp.php";
			$mail = new SmtpMail();
		}
		else
		{
			require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/mailhandlers/php.php";
			$mail = new PhpMail();
		}
	}
	
	// Using SMTP based mail
	if($mybb->settings['mail_handler'] == 'smtp')
	{
		if($keep_alive == true)
		{
			$mail->keep_alive = true;
		}
	}
	
	// Using PHP based mail()
	else
	{
		if($mybb->settings['mail_parameters'] != '')
		{
			$mail->additional_parameters = $mybb->settings['mail_parameters'];
		}
	}
	
	// Build and send
