Hello.

My site can't send e-mails to new users upon register - which means no one can register. It just tells them that it can't send the e-mail.

Why is this?

It's not my smtp seeing as I've got another php-fusion site on the same server which can send e-mails and register people without any problems.

I'm pretty lost on this problem.

Thank you in advance.

If that was the case shouldn't the sendmail function also be blocked on my other site which is using the same server and host?

Any suggestions would help also. I am having the same problem with Windows 2003 and have a dedicated server to use. There shouldn't be anything blocked and the only firewall I have is the Windows firewall for now. I am also using EasyPHP.

Thanks!

Are you sure that you configured your server?

In EasyPHP, php.ini you need to configure this section:

Code Download source
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[Syslog]
; Whether or not to define the various syslog variables (e.g. $LOG_PID,
; $LOG_CRON, etc.).  Turning it off is a good idea performance-wise.  In
; runtime, you can define these variables by calling define_syslog_variables().
define_syslog_variables  = Off

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

thanks for the reply. Yes, There isn't much configuration to worry about and I think it defaults to localhost anyway. I switched servers and had this running on my old one. :-/ It might be a config issue with an smtp service?

If you use localhost, then i believe that you need to have a mail server installed.

Try to use smtp settings in the configuration. Something like:

Code Download source
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[Syslog]
; Whether or not to define the various syslog variables (e.g. $LOG_PID,
; $LOG_CRON, etc.).  Turning it off is a good idea performance-wise.  In
; runtime, you can define these variables by calling define_syslog_variables().
define_syslog_variables  = Off

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mailblabla.blabla.com

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = your_address@blabla.com

still no luck. Very odd. I can't seem to track it down. I had the support group set up the SMTP and the only think I can see that didn't do was specifically setup the relay to my host. Everything else seems the same but it still fails. Is there a log from PHP I can see exactly what happened?

ok I put a print statement in the code. It says "Could not instantiate mail function". Why, I have no idea. I don't think I have anything out of the ordinary other than the EasyPHP setup. Mail.php is there in the file system.
