cotonti.com : PM Email Notification https://www.cotonti.com Last topic posts Cotonti en Sun, 12 Apr 2026 23:09:30 -0000 foxhound Not sure if it is related but I have noticed wierd mail behaviour on my new Sienna website as well.
If you would for example use the passrecover to have your password sent to you I did recieve the first email within a few minutes (not instant)! The second mail send to you after you click the confirmation links and which contains the new password came only after like 2 or even more hours.
Maybe the same goes for this? You need to be more patient?

I also had the email verification on when I just installed the latest version of Sienna but when I too recieved no mail on different test users I created I quickly disabled that feature. As far as I recall I never actually recieved those mails (but not sure on this).

Mail works just fine on this server, I run multiple sites on my own there, some sites for others and a webshop and all mail works perfect.

Oeps, missed this before posting:

#35393 Trustmaster:

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.

That in fact could be the issue I will test/check/change this and get back about it. ]]> Fri, 07 Sep 2012 15:29:09 -0000 Trustmaster Also make sure "Administrator's email" setting in Administration / Configuration / Main settings belongs to the same domain you're sending from.

I'll try the plugin and see if there's any difference.

thanks

<?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.

]]> Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:15:03 -0000 Twiebie 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?

]]> Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:45:38 -0000 fraze 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
