Форуми / Cotonti / Support / PM Email Notification

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 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.

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

ok...using the smtp plugin didnt work either...not sure whats going on :S

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:

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.
