Mail doesn’t work

Who is your host ?

Problem solved, my hosters fault.

Is it possible that WordPress doesn’t work with GMail?

No – if anything it’s GMail’s problem as they keep changing their code.

It seems to be GMail’s problem because when I change the mail-adress to another, it works fine.

I have the same problem but it worked in 1.2. I use 1.5.1.3 now. My functions. php doesn’t contain the function wp_mail either. I’m lost now. What should I ask my host, in case that’s the cause?

Here’s host’s specs:
Operating system Linux
Apache version 1.3.33 (Unix)
PHP version 4.3.10
MySQL version 4.0.24-standard

here’s my url

Please test it?

Yes, I too have this problem on 5 out of 8 blogs. These 5 are at below10host.com (with whom I am otherwise absolutely thrilled). I have just emailed their support folks to see if there’s something going on from their end.

I spent quite a while late last night reading all the support forum threads and the codex about this problem. However, with the wp_mail function not in functions.php, and that seeming to be the only fix, and with me not being a php whiz, I will I presume have to wait for smarter heads – or my host.

Hmm. It got late, and I did NOT look through the other function-call sorts of files in wp-includes though. But then again, even if I had found the mail function, anything I did to it would likely screw the pooch…. just as well I didn’t get around to looking probably!

wp_mail() lives in pluggable-functions.php

The functions in pluggable-functions.php are designed to be overridden by plugins. So, for example, a plugin could create a new wp_mail() function (like coffee2code’s wpPHPmailer, perhaps). Then, any other function that would normally call wp_mail() automatically gets to use the new version.

Okay. So how do I fix the fact that wp_mail isn’t mailing new registrants? I would prefer not to have to resort to a plugin for something that should be functional in wp without outside assistance. Or is this really likely to be a host-server problem?

First, make sure that the recipient has not received and classified the email message as spam.

Do any WordPress generated emails get delivered?

If you’re positive that messages are not delivered, then contact your host and ask for their assistance. They could be restricting outgoing mail in several ways.

I’ve a problem with my new wordpress installation (version 1.5.1.3):
It’s working perfect but mails aren’t send, neither when a new user registers nor when someone wants to receive a new password.

No, as I said earlier, NO mails are delivered even though wp says they are sent, and I am talking about mails to ME – to a known valid address (well, 4 known valid ones, actually).

*shrug* I have contacted my host. I’ll let you know what they say.

Seems like there should be some way within wp to address the fact that not all hosts will enable something just because wp wants to use it. In other words, if this is an ongoing problem (as it certainly seems to be), then perhaps wp’s programming team ought to figure out a different way of handling program emailing.

I get the “new member joined” emails at one of the same addys I tried registering to.

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FAQ_Troubleshooting#E-mailed_passwords_are_not_being_received doesn’t help. Why did it work in 1.2 but not 1.5.1.3? Something changed.

“wp_mail() lives in pluggable-functions.php” not in WP 1.5.1.3. Where is wp_mail?

In the file “pluggable-functions.php”, as skippy stated…. oh – nev’mind…. but aren’t they both in there? Or is wp_mail() now defunct? skippy?
