Registration/ Activation Email

I also have this issue alone with users having gone thru the process of registering and no account have been created. I even created a test account and was unable to duplicate this on my site.

Does your hosting provider has sendmail enabled?
If not you probably have to use your SMTP mail account...

yes, it used to work with my previous CMS (php-nuke, dragonfly cms, and Simple Machine

hmmm, then it should still work. What package did you install?? V7 latest?
Or did you upgrade from V6..??

Thanks. I saw your "shouts" at my site too. I'll backup the DB and re-load the package.

Appreciate your time helping me out.

I re-uploaded the package and it seemed to be working thus far. Thanks for your help, Xessive.

Nice!! Have fun!

I don't think it works with Hotmail, can someone confirm this or offer a fix? Thanx

The receiving mail address have nothing to do with the sendmail function (unless specifically defined that no e-mails should be processed to *.hotmail.com). It is all in the server. Settings, potentially banned domains, etc... After that it user-wise.

If sendmail works with one e-mail it will work with all.

Some hosts require you to have an e-mail registered with your domain (e-mail@domain.com) in order to even be able to use the sendmail. I have one of those. Its sensible spam control.

I have the same problem here!

all working great for gmail etc and the hotmail members not always receive the activation mail!

I have the same problem with hotmail, it won't receive the activation email :-(

Don't know how to solve this.. somebody please?
