Unable to send mail -> registration approval notification + others

[brunom]

Hey there,

I have recently set up a new smf forum (Version 1.1.3 ; mail via php) and noticed straight from the beginning, that the registration approval notification email is never sent to the newly approved member (member approval set active). The new member receives a Welcome email when registering but never the promised approval notification.

Following bit from the error log probably addresses the problem as well:

hxxp:forum.wepcontrol.com/index.php?action=profile2;sa=activateAccount;userID=4;sesc [nonactive]
8: Undefined variable: new_var
File: /public/www/kunden/****/htdocs/forum/Sources/QueryString.php
Line: 390

and this one:

hxxp:forum.wepcontrol.com/index.php?action=register2 [nonactive]
Unable to send mail to the email address '*admin-email*'

hxxp:forum.wepcontrol.com/index.php?action=register2 [nonactive]
Unable to send mail to the email address '*user-email*'

Apart from this the email notifications seem to work on and off...
as the error log states:

hxxp:forum.wepcontrol.com/index.php?action=post2;start=0;board=2 [nonactive]
Unable to send mail to the email address '****'

hxxp:forum.wepcontrol.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send2 [nonactive]
Unable to send mail to the email address '****'

PS: working email addies replaced with *...*

There might be the problem. Contact your host about any e-mail sending restrictions, as well as any anti-spam filters they may have set up on your account. Point them to this topic too.
