Not receiving emails as admin?

  • I have my options set for E-mail me whenever Anyone posts a comment and a comment is held for moderation. But I posted a test message and I see its being held for moderation in my control panel but I havent received any emails? What could be the problems. This is my first wordpress so Im a little green here.
    Thanks

    I tried to send a password reminder email to myself just to see if any emails are getting through. When I did I got a web page that had the following information on it.
    “The e-mail could not be sent.
    Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…”

    I found out that due to excessive spam on the server that I host on they disabled php scripts. He he can enable certain ones for me. Im not sure which file is the mail script for this. Im assuming its wp-mail.php. Is that correct?

    No. That file is for blogging by email: Blog_by_Email
    You need the mail() function on the server – as the error message said.

    Thanks. Techsupport with my hosting company enabled it for me and now it works fine. I was messing with this for hours thinking I did something wrong. I was almost about to dump word press out of frustration. thanks for replying.

    Sometimes the answers come slow but I am glad it worked out for you. Happy blogging ??
