Not getting emailed password from new account
I have setup the system to have the password of the new account emailed to the new user. The new user is being added to the default.pass file and their email address. But the password never comes in the mail! What should I look for?

Elliot, Could you be as so kind to share with me the line of code and file that told you this so I can look at it also. I looked for the SMTP routine and did not find one yet. Still looking. Just please tell me where to find the error.

I know that the UBB Search Engine is not the best, however, I found the Thread within a minute.

Here it is:

Hello Sherwin,

Please post your db.cgi, default.cfg, and html.pl as text files and post the URL where we can find the files.

This will assist us in helping you debug the scripts.

Okay...your problem is that you are using a sendmail path for UNIX systems/servers. You need to identify the correct path for your sendmail path (if you have Blat or another Windows based sendmail program installed).

Contact your ISP and ask them if they have Blat installed or another Windows based sendmail program installed. If not, then you will have to use the SMTP Mailer routine, which has been written more than once in this forum.

If you do not have BlatMail or another Windows based program installed on your server, then search this forum for "SMTP" and my name "Eliot" in the user name blank in the search form. Also, you will need to download the Mailer.pm file from LINKS in order for the SMTP Mailer routine to work.

I wrote instructions on how to set up SMTP mailer routine.

Hope this helps.

Smile
