Title: SMF Reset Password Is Not Sending E-mail
Post by: aerolite on December 15, 2014, 10:03:14 AM
I could successfully submit a reset password form including my e-mail address. I got this message using the reset feature "A mail has been sent to your email address. Click the link in that mail to set a new password."

Unfortunately, I don't get any e-mail for this. I had tried making a php script to test if php mail will work
Quote
<?php

$mail = mail("[email protected]", "wahahahahahaahahahahaa","I like spamming your inbox!!!", "From: Myself<[email protected]");

if(!$mail){
   echo 'mail is not sent!';
} else {
   echo 'mail is sent :-)';
}

?>

Dummy [email protected] got the e-mail with no problems.

In my Admin -> Maintenance -> Mail -> Settings

Those are things set in my settings.

Does your forum send OTHER emails

B-day emails?
notifications of new PMs?
notifications of new responses in watched threads?
admin notification of new members?

Just tried to send a warning to a dummy user, with option "Send a Notification:", and SEND EMAIL doesn't send a message either.

 aerolite, did you get this sorted?

Many of the bif email providers consider messages from forums as spam as they cant verify also try using the smtp option
