Users Package automatic email

hi,

i am using the users package for user registration. i have problems with sending automatic emails after registration and sending an email, if the user has forgotten the password.
i defined an email in the kernel package as adresser. do i have to change server settings so that this email-feature would work?

thank you for help

xristina,

is this feature working for you here, at bitweaver.org ?

yes it works for bitweaver.org but not for my site.

is the email address you set in kernel a valid email address? your server may be having trouble sending the email if it is not.

i tried a valid email and a fictional email adress. where can i find information on how the email is sent, so i can talk to the server administration if they allow it or not? i couldn't find any documentation on that :-(

If you are running apache, the place to look would be your apache logs - access_log and error_log. Your error_log might have something like: "Warning: mail() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/foo/bitweaver/bar.php on line 987..."

Check your php.ini (in /etc on unix) for something like "disable_functions = mail"
