Dose anyone know how to set up SMTP so when people sign up for accounts, it mails them there password. As of right now when people sign up, it states (after they have completed the sign-up) they will be sent an email with there password. They never receive the email. When you go in and try to retrieve the password it says"The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function..." I believe these two items are related.
Please If you know how to fix or set this up please let me know.
Thanks in advance

You should be asking your host this question. It's probable that they are blocking the system from sending email out.

I this case I am asking as the host of this page.
You are the host? In that case, you need to set up a mail program, e.g. sendmail to handle sending of email. You'll also need to check the php.ini settings to make sure the mailer settings are correct (the defaults usually work).
Even if you are running your own server, if you are on dsl or cable, your provider may not allow you to send mail out directly. In which case you'll need to configure your system to use SMART HOSTING.
If you are running a windows server, you are on your own.
