WordPress Not Sending New User Registration Emails

  • Hey guys, I’ve been pulling my hair out over this. I joined this forum just to see if I could get help. The situation is as the topic describes– I can’t get my installation of wordpress, with the simple:press forums plugin, to send emails to new users about confirming their account. I’ve scoured the internet in hopes of finding an answer, but the last thing I haven’t tried was a link to a post on a site something like annata.com, since the site was down.

    I’ve used SMTP plugins to no avail. The wierd part is that I can send emails to Gmail accounts, but my account on Comcast doesn’t get the emails. Can anyone offer me any help? I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Hey guys,

    When using SMTP this is my log for a test email. Does it indicate anything out of the ordinary? This problem is driving me crazy, haha.

    Test Message Sent

    The result was:

    bool(true)

    The SMTP debugging output is shown below:

    SMTP -> FROM SERVER:

    Hi Pixel Well,
    Did you ever get a good resolution for this problem?
    For new-user-registration my users never get the initial email with a password. Is there a setting I’ve missed?

    Thanks.

    I’ve tried SMTP plugin, as well as wp-mail-smtp plugin. The config seems correct, but no emails sent from wordpress.

    Hi,

    We are having the same problem. All my settings look right in php.ini and we tried using plugins and nothing.

    Any thoughts/suggestions.

    Does the SMTP server you’re sending through require authentication?

    Mine does and I think that’s what’s keeping me from having new user registrations sent.

    I’m using Contact Form 7 and those emails get sent–but I’m also using the WP SMTP plugin which *specifically* asks for the SMTP authentication info.

    Wonder why WP isn’t picking up on that?

    I found this via google-fu. I’m having trouble on a buddypress/wordpressMU install where most everyone gets their registration emails but the comcast people don’t get emails and their accounts don’t even get started. I mean, nothing in the database and nothing sent. I was trying to figure out if this is a comcast-specific issue. I’m pretty sure that wordpress creates the account before it’s activated, right? So I would think there’d at least be a listing even if they don’t get an email to activate?
