WP wont send emails

50? Are you sure? Try it one more time. ??

Yes it makes a difference. Your host has to do something to let PHP send mail through qmail. Go leave your host because they refuse to support your site. Grr.

Good luck!

I setup a basic php mail script to see if it would send email. It does. So sendmail seems to be working fine on the host, at least with the basic mail() script. But it’s not working with WP 2.8.4.

So I even grabbed the PHPMailer script WP uses and gave it a try. It has a demo script and that worked fine.

I did a second install of WP and it also wont send emails.

Wow. What I would do at this point is to compare source codes. WordPress is obviously doing something different from your PHPMailer demo script.

Good luck!

Yeah, I looked at the WP script and unfortunately it’s been customized enough I can’t really tell where the issue is. I’m not very strong in PHP.

Anyone else have an idea on this? It’s really important I get this working, and I don’t have an SMTP option I want to use.
