For some reason, the new-user signup on my site is not sending the validation code via email. I just became webmaster of the site, so I'm not sure when this feature ceased to function, but it is definitely down. Can someone point me to a script location so that I can troubleshoot?

I was able to send an email through the admin interface to a user, so I know that the actual email functionality for the software is ok. I am also able to see the new, non-validated, user in the user database, with the validation code and everything. When that code is entered into the validation form it works great, so the validation script is in fact generating the code, but it is just not getting emailed. Any ideas?

(simple solution, I triple checked that I entered a valid email address in the first place ).

Is this feature enabled in the admin panel (Setup > User Options)?

Yes, the user_validation setup option is enabled.

When the new account is created, it does forward directly to the validation form, so it's trying to do the right thing.... it just doesn't quite happen.

Where is the validation mailing routine?

/admin/Links/Users/Add.pm I believe.

I think that the problem I am having with the validation email not being sent is because of some variables...

Currently, the validation code email is not sent to new users. I inserted my own email code into the script so that it would force-send me the email and this is the result:
----------
http://www.associatecash.com/cgi-bin/Beta/user.cgi?validate=1

and enter the following code:

10556502713595838

If you have any problems, please contact Unknown Tag: 'db_admin_email'.

Sincerely,

The db_admin_email tag is not working. I checked in the program setup and the variable is set properly, so I think this is why the email is failing, my sendmail routine is getting a blank or invalid "from" address. Anyone have any idea why this is not working?
