Are you sure the original email isn't just getting dumped into their spam folder?

Some things I would look at would be in forums ACP under configuration make sure the "Use SMTP Server for email" is set to no and under edit user Configuration in RavenNuke ACP look to see if under the email tab if "server can send mail" is set to yes and under Registration tab "Require Admin Approval" is set to no.

And since PHP Mail() seems to be enabled on your server, you don't need to use TegoNuke(tm) Mailer, so if you had it turned on in the admin, turn it off.

Apologies, I don't want to create a new thread as I am sure there have been many on this. I'm having the same issue. Checked everything you stated, however, it still refuses to send mail.

Added this:
ini_set("sendmail_from", "sthforce@6thforcerecon.com");

However it still fails to send an email. Couple of minutes later the message bounces back to my server's webwail. Any help (for both of us^^^) would be great.

Thanks Smile

1. check your host's smtp service.
to check if it works correctly, you will login in terminal mode.
Then, type in />sendmail in your server terminal mode.
When it comes up, then

2. look at phpinfo where you will find SMTP and its port (or esmpt and its corresponding ports).

3. If the system's sendmail port (smpt port) and your php smpt prot (in phpinfo), then your system and php sendmail call are correspondant.

4. if, from step 1 to step 3, no problem founds, your phpnuke mail routine was problem. However, nuke backend does not use phpbb2 forum mail routines. Therefore, check <nuke-root>/Your_Account/index.php and find mail() function.

5. If your user bounces your emails, then open your bounced mail. When looking at your mail, open it as a source mode. Then, there you will find reasons.

6. If your user's mail server rejects your mail, you have been classified as a spammer in that server.

7. Some servers classify mails that has no clear or filled info (smtp protocol). If so, you have nothing to get the user whose mail server rejects you.

8. Alternatively, you may use auto-activation if you don't mind mail confirmation.

What does the bounce message say the error/issue was?

It says this for all messages I have received. HOWEVER, I have sent an email to myself to test it through the webmail client and it delivered that one. However, the automatically sent ones send back this:

dobkins6th, I think you need to address this with your host. I don't think they have the mail services properly configured and it may really be on the Apache/PHP side.

I would like to fix as much as I can by myself without having to go to my host. They really aren't as helpful as I hoped when it comes to issues. I usually get only 1 - 2 sentences in response Sad

Well, I don't know how to help you then. I think - and that is with a capital "T" - the issue is with the PHP settings for the default send from. Unfortunately, its just a hunch, without any further advice, which is why I suggested going the host route.

Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 7:07 pm

Well thank you for all the help you have provided. I have still yet to hear back from my host(as expected), but thank you very much. I'll keep updates if I figure it out and end up fixing the issues.
