Topic: Not sending subscription mails..

I am using the latest version which I downloaded a hour ago. And there is definately some problem with sending of mails on replies. I am a programmer and I am having good knowledge of PHP, Perl and all other web languages. Besides I know how the mail function of PHP and SMTP mail servers work as I am administering a PHP based form to e-mail site http://allforms.mailjol.net which sends a couple of thousand mails each hour.

After installation, I logged in and subscribed to the default topic which says,

"If you are looking at this (which I guess you are), the install of PunBB appears to have worked! Now log in and head over to the administration control panel to configure your forum."

Then logged out and posted a reply as a guest. I didn't recieve any mail. I switched to SMTP from mail function and again tried the same. Still nothing. Then I tried a trick and gave bad username and password in SMTP settings to check whether it gives error when I post a reply as a guest. But it didn't gave any error which means its not at all trying to send mail (which it should as I subscribed to the topic through my administrator account).

I don't really have time to look into the codes. Please help.

Re: Not sending subscription mails..

Did you use an external SMTP server or did you use PHP's built-in mail() function? Also, does it work if you use the form e-mail function in the user profile?
