Title: [Solved]Emails not being sent!
Post by: Prasad1337 on February 03, 2014, 01:32:51 AM
I registered now as a new test user on my forum and I'm not getting any welcome message. I'm also not getting any messages after clicking notify for a few topics and test replying from my main account. Basically, my forum isn't sending out emails whatsoever. I checked my inbox, spam.. it's just not there. I also did a bit of searching and noticed that the host needs to support PHP Mail. I checked with my free host, X10Hosting and they DO support PHP Mail. Please advise.


Thank you and kind regards
Prasad

Check for:
* Errors in your SMF error log (related to emails, of course)
* Errors in your server log or ask your host for advice
* Bounced emails in your host's webmail

Emails just don't "disappear. Somewhere between SMF and your server, some logs do exist for them ;)

Turned out it WAS my host. I have migrated at this point and all is well. Thank you again. :)
