In reply to: user registration email not working?Ok,
I downloaded WPPHPMailer from here:
http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/28/plugin-wpphpmailer/
and it worked as advertised. I had reviewed it before but there seemed to be quite a few issues in the log/comment area.
I only used it on the (previously) non-working site — again, strange (same host, same database software, WP version, etc) as one works without WPPHPMailer and the other one needs it (www.gs2p.com).
It doesn’t look like it plays well with contact forms but I’ll work through that later.
Hope this helps someone.

In reply to: user registration email not working?Same problem here. 2 things:
– I found out initially when a user was having issues sending me an email from a form (“mail() not found” or some such msg; I turned off the contact form plugin.
– Next, I found the registration email didn’t work. I have 2 blogs: one at a top level root directory; the other installed in a subdirectory. BOTH blog’s registration email did not work. I moved the sub-directory blog up to the root directory (for other reasons) and everything (forms, registration emails, lost password emails) started working again. The other, also in a root directory but not recently moved, still does not work.
Ahhh…weird.
I reported the mail() to my host provider and they send it was a SMTP/Sendmail issue. I don’t know why that would matter give the “recently moved” blog started working again. After a classic IT/User conversation with my host provider that paralleled “Who’s on first?”, I gave up on having them help me resolve the issue.
This thread is the most definitive of this problem and it begs for a moderator or member with a solution to step up and post a comment.
In the meantime, I’m not touching the one that is working and I am going to try the WPPHPMailer plugin on the other.
