I’m having the same problem as the first poster. Here’s the story:
1. Installation successful, I can login as admin. When I create test users and the registration e-mail is supposed to be sent, it never arrives.
2. Troubleshooting included updating the functions.php file to fix the known issues. A snippet of my functions.php file is below:
‘function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = ”) {
if( $headers == ” ) {
$headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0\n” .
“From: ” . get_settings(‘admin_email’) . “\n” .
“Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\”” . get_settings(‘blog_charset’) . “\”\n”;
}
return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}’
This gets rid of the $more argument, which apparently farts when it tries to execute. And it also references the ‘admin_email’ on my host, which does exist as admin@mydomain.com. (This was to fix the problem of having a nobody@mydomain.com sending out mail from the php file, which most hosts don’t allow)
And yet, the problem persists.
So, I ran the test phpmail script on my hosts’s site to make sure the default phpmail works, the code for this is below:
‘<?
require(“c:\php\includes\class.phpmailer.php”);
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = “mail.brinkster.com”;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = “you@domain.com”;
$mail->Password = “EmailPassword”;
$mail->From = “you@domain.com”;
$mail->FromName = “Your Name”;
$mail->AddAddress(“user@domain.com”);
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = “Test message sent using the PHPMailer component”;
$mail->Body = “This is a test message.”;
$mail->Send()
?>’
I updated all the fields and this works like a charm. My thinking is that somehow I need to integrate the code from the default phpmailer ($mail??) into the code in the functions.php.
I am not even a coder of php, I just have been following the troubleshooting instructions, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.
[edit] Also, I’ve created a php info file, but there’s no sendmail path. I don’t have root access, so it doesn’t matter anyway. Also, Brinkster runs windows servers [/edit]
[edit2] I switched my e-mail in both users and options in the admin section of the wp control panel to admin@mydomain.com, so no problems there [/edit2]
