I need to use email activation due to anti-spam.

What do you mean that activation doesn't work? Are they not getting the activation emails? Are members getting other emails (notifications of PM's, topics, announcements, etc.)?

What are your registration settings in your admin section?

The member not receive any activation email even in their spam folder.

you can try to register my web board www.laoforexboard.com there is no email sent to your inbox for activation you registering.
however I'd set the register type as Email activation already not admin approve or student activate.

Are members getting other emails (notifications of PM's, topics, announcements, etc.)

Can they check their junk or spam folder to see if emails are going there?

What are your mail settings? Are you using a mail client like gmail or yahoo, or using an email service through your domain? ( ex: [email protected] )

Are members getting other emails (notifications of PM's, topics, announcements, etc.) = No any email sir.

Can they check their junk or spam folder to see if emails are going there? = even junk or spam folder also no email too.

What are your mail settings? Are you using a mail client like gmail or yahoo, or using an email service through your domain? ( ex: [email protected] ) = i'm using gmail sir. do i have to use domain email? if so who to setting ?

If using gmail, can you access that gmail account and see if any emails appear in the "sent" folder?

Gmail has been really finicky lately about flagging newly created email accounts as spam if they send too many emails out. Not sure if that's the issue or if your settings are incorrect.

I would recommend trying to set up an email account on your server and then changing that as the webmaster address in your admin panel. Take a look at this tutorial on how to set up an email account (like admin@yourdomain)-  http://support.hostgator.com/articles/how-do-i-create-email-accounts-in-cpanel

Are there any mail-related errors showing in your forum error log?

There was an issue some time ago which resulted (for me, at least) in an amendment having to be made to the SMF mailout code.
