Not sending messages on email

[H@M]

I added the forum on my VPS but it doesn't send any mails to new users to activate there account and if they requested his password it doesn't send anything can anyone help me to fix this problem?

Did you have sendmail installed on your VPS?

[H@M]

Yes, Sendmail is already my newest version.

You need to check your configuration, maybe run a test script for php mail function.

Either php isn't  sending mails at all or, for some reason, SMF can't send mails. You need to check which is the the case first.

[H@M]

I used the test script but it doesn't send anything anymore.

[margarett]

In that case, it's a server configuration.

Is your VPS managed or unmanaged? If it's the second case, you're pretty much on your own and you should seek support in more specialized forums, as not many persons here know how to deal with that...

[H@M]

What do you mean by managed/unmanaged ?

[Black Tiger]

Unmanaged means that you have to install, configure and support your VPS yourself.

Managed means your hoster or supplier of the VPS does support and installations on your VPS.

If you have to do everything yourself, you might check your logs like /var/log/maillog and /var/log/messages for what's going on.

Or like Margarett says, go to a more specialized forum. Or maybe I can have a quick look for you if I can find the problem.
However, I don't deal with installations like windows and FreeBSD, only Linux, preferable Centos or Fedora.
If you want me to have a look, you can contact me by pm.

to early tho say its OS related... phmailer() should work standard out of the box if not contact your host and define your phpinfo();

What is a phpinfo() file?

[H@M]

My VPS is managed.

So ask the people managing it what the problem is?

So ask the people managing it what the problem is?

My forum won't send any mail to emails.

[Arantor]

That wasn't what I said.

If you have a managed forum, get *the people who manage it* to verify that your configuration for sendmail is correct. If you manage it yourself and there is no-one else who manages it, that means you are not on a managed server... (this sort of thing is actually important)

same on phpinfo so...

[H@M]

5.231.61.32/phpinfo.php
Here's the phpinfo

[margarett]

So ask the people managing it what the problem is?

My forum won't send any mail to emails.

No, your server doesn't send any email through php, which you confirmed by running the test script
So yes, you should talk to the people managing it

[H@M]

Who can fix it just send me PM and I will give him the VPS username and pass to fix this problem.
