Topic: User email notification doesn't work

I've just installed a copy of PunBB. One problem I have is that registration doesn't work - no email is received. However 'send email' works fine for admin so it doesn't seem to be a fault with my sendmail. Any suggestions?

Re: User email notification doesn't work

Just to be sure, you've enabled "Verify registrations" in admin/options right?

Yes. (Great software, BTW.)

Re: User email notification doesn't work

Well, I don't know why. Can you post an URL to your forums se we can check it out?

You'll find I've hacked the display code around a bit (!) but I'm pretty sure that won't be the cause as it was the same with the clean install.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. Try it with a stock install and see if that helps.

OK. I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks anyway.

Re: User email notification doesn't work

I've done a completely fresh, unadulterated install but it's still the same. Admin email (from the form in Profile) is fine but user registration email doesn't work. However, requesting a new password does work (I'm sure I tried that last time without success).

Suddenly thought that I should check that 'verify passwords' was on and, of course, it wasn't. So everything seems to be fine now. Thanks.
