Registration email (password) not sending

backticks

I tried the fix Drothism suggested at the start of this post. … But traced the modification point to wp-login (register) the result was an immediate 500 error when I tried to register a new user. I have more information about my problem but I’m going to keep looking here for a solution or the closest approximation of the symptoms I have before posting. Glenn

Has anyone came up with a solution? I’m having the same problem – no email notification is sent out to new users. I have the latest version – 2.3.1.

I have a solution and I posted it see my post

I did a patch

WordPress is set to use mail by default but my server is using SendMail instead of mail.
here how I solve it.

tcheck the pluggable.php file

you might get this
// Set to use PHP’s mail()
$phpmailer->IsMail();
on line #238

change it for this if you are using SendMail
// Set to use PHP’s sendmail()
$phpmailer->IsSendmail();

or this if you are using QMail
// Set to use PHP’s qmail()
$phpmailer->IsQmail();

or this if you are using SMTP
// Set to use PHP’s smtp
$phpmailer->IsSMTP();

I got those function from the file class-phpmailer.php.

it worked for me. hope it will helps !

HAve you checked to see if it’s ONE ISP having the problem?

I’m at 2.3.1

I”m having exactly this problem but ONLY with those using SBC Global.

My guess is that SBC dosen’t like something in the return FROM address. Mine happens to have a hyphen: domain-name.com

I’ve had other issues with SBC users outside of the Blogosphere so I’m not surprized.

Still waiting for a response myself (and experimenting in the meantime) I think I need to change the FROM address in the return email but not sure where to do that.
