Ok.

Sorry to ask.. but I have users that are not getting any kind of validation emails... I've asked and it doesn't seem to be specific to any kind of host... ex.. hotmail, aol, sbc...etc....

This has been working in the past and I haven't done anything ( that I know of ) to change it..

any thoughts,

MrBud

So am I doing something wrong or is there no one on here that knows which direction to start on this problem...I'm surprised that no one has replied to this post yet..

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

try checkin junk or spam folder..

free email accounts such as hotmail/yahoo are usually tagged as spam or junk

If you are using a Professional, or Free hosting company, allot of Hosts are now starting to block the php mail function, they each handle it this differently, so if they are you may, or may not be able to have your mail unblocked.

Try sending mail to yourself via the board , and Admin Panel.

If these dont work, odds are your php mail is being blocked, and you may want to ask your host about it.
