Just a small query. I admin a website hosted on godaddy and no-one gets any email notifications when PMs are received even though it is enabled in the CP. Do you know of anything which could block this or how I can get round it? thanks |

Is it just the email notifications when a PM is received, or does nobody get any of the other emails that are being send from the website? |

i dont think any of the emails get sent, as we had to set it so your account is active as soon as you register. |

I would suggest to send a test email from the server with this snippet Trustmaster posted a while ago, just to make sure the mailserver is alright. <?php if (mail('your_email_address@domain.com', 'Testing sendmail', 'If this email does not arrive, then it is a host problem')) echo 'OK'; else echo 'Error'; ?> Just save that on your webserver and run it in the browser with a valid email address. |

If the script posted above fails to deliver then consider using PHPMailer plugin and some third-party SMTP account, e.g. Gmail. May the Source be with you!

I've tried the script snippet and I received the email successfully. However i've registered a test user on my site and haven't received the registration email... I'll try the plugin and see if there's any difference. thanks Added 40 minutes later: ok...using the smtp plugin didnt work either...not sure whats going on :S |

Also make sure "Administrator's email" setting in Administration / Configuration / Main settings belongs to the same domain you're sending from. Some hosts require that to be a valid account for sending. May the Source be with you!

Not sure if it is related but I have noticed wierd mail behaviour on my new Sienna website as well.
Oeps, missed this before posting: #35393 Trustmaster:That in fact could be the issue I will test/check/change this and get back about it. <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />
