Does not send confirmation mail to new user registration in win2000adv server. Just found this problem and cant figure out why.

Any suggestions, or known problems.

mail does not send confirmations. I have looked at all settings and dont see the problem with it. What do you need to know in order to help me configure it. How does xmail have to be set up. Cause it must not have anything to do with uebimiau. When you go to log into phpxmail there is no server name. user name and pass.

well i sugest you backup your curent settings
get 1.1.6
install it
do not change anything
register to phpnuke like a regular user would and see if it sends the email

with default configuration it should allways work
if it does then you have done something wrong

if it does not then there is something wrong with your windows or my software or most likely with phpnuke

see http://www.nukecops.com/postt8397.html

I downloaded the 1.1.6 and did a clean install, changed no settings and still no mail sent to new users mail account for confirmation. The freez reads.

problem is phpnuke sends emails with the from: adress set to admin@localhost

most smtp servers dont acept adresses that dont have a fully featured hostname part like localhost

so configure phpnuke to use a diferent adress from admin@localhost

im not sure but i think that it reads the adress from the server configuration one set up in httpd.conf

how is it that "Change admin@localhost in httpd.conf to yours ! " allways eluded your eyes ? ( its the notice on main apache2triad index page)

ServerAdmin admin@209.218.159.154

209.218.159.154 = IP
209.218.159.154 ≠ hostname

From one of your first posts Quote: The old version of triad didnt give me this problem.
xmail has not changed (as far as I know) since it was added in 1.1.4 pro so the reason it doesn't work now has something do with how you configured it. If you backed up your old config files, as recomended, then compare them to see what's different.

As for your problem(s), here's a few tips:
1. when you get an error, look up the error code at http://www.xmailserver.com/Errors.html (not always needed)
2. then do a text search for the error description in file:///c:/apache2/mail/manual/readme.html

A search for "mail loop" in the manual shows 2 or 3 settings which might cause problems if configured incorrectly, so I suggest the first thing you do is you look them up.

Just to let you know too. Php-nuke, by default, uses the "sendmail_from" setting in php.ini.
So change that by either using the GUI in the CP or by editing php.ini manually.
Alternativly you could setup php-nuke to use an smtp account instead of php sendmail, which you can do somewhere under php-nuke general settings.
