E-Mail Not Working For New Members

    I’ve gotten my Multisite WordPress installation up and running on a Bitnami server, but I’m having issues getting new members in the system.

    I’m adding people to my blogs from the Dashboard, keying in user names and e-mail addresses and setting roles (all of them as authors).

    I submit a user and WordPress responds that the account is created and will be activated after that person clicks on a link that was sent to them in an e-mail.

    The e-mails are not getting sent even though WordPress says they are going.

    How do I configure the blog to send e-mail? Could I map that to a Gmail account I created for use with the blog? How would I do that?

    You can try this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/configure-smtp/

    But I don’t know how it’ll work in Multisite.

    Can WP send any emails? I mean did you get one when you set up the install?

    I got the confirmation e-mail.

    The problem is with the one WordPress sends to a new user. I wanted to put some into the blog already and WordPress says it is sending them e-mails with their login information but those e-mails never arrive in their inboxes. I have checked this across several domains to rule out issues such a domain balking on mail from WordPress. The mail is never leaving my installation.

    Can you check your mail server to make sure they’re being sent (or not)?

    Also are you running any plugins?

    WordPress says that e-mail is working correctly, but I’m not finding any records that they have been sent through Apache.

    We have used a plug-in to route e-mail through Gmail and it now seems to be working. We are having problems now with login for the blogs.

    I am posting this in a separate thread in the forum. Could you take a look at it and give recommendations?
