Yes. the admin email was from my domain. I went through hours of troubleshooting until the wee hours of the morning yesterday. I dug a bit deeper this morning, and solved the issue just now.

Here is the fix I used in case anyone else has this problem.

1. Yahoo supports the PHP mail, but it first needs to be “activated”. This is quite simple to do. For Yahoo Samll Business users like me, you simply log into your webhosting then click on CREATE & UPDATE, then scroll down to PHP/Perl Mail, click on it and set-up the mail. The only thing you need to do is enter a “From” address and click “set default”. I also made sure I had a TMP directory in the root of webhosting so that I could view the mail error log.

That doesn’t solve the issue, though it IS part of the solution. If you set up the error log as I did, and you try a test registration, my suspicion is that you’ll get the same thing I did at this point which is:

“From address not in member domain. Message not sent.”

What solved it for me after that was the following plugin:

After installing the plugin, a new tab appears on the “Plug-in” page called “Login Register Options”. I went there and changed the “Admin From Address:” and *poof* it started working fine. Hope this works for anyone else who is having the issue.

I had the identical issue on Yahoo. I too searched the forums and got nowhere until today.

FIRST: you have to activate the php-mail in Yahoo’s control panel. You do that from the webhosting control panel>create & update>php/perl mail. It’s VERY simple, but MUST be done.

That in and of itself doesn’t complete it. If you try after that, you’ll more than likely get an error in Yahoo that tells you something like “email not from users domain. mail not sent.”

SECOND: I ran across this plug-in, and after installing it (about two minutes to do) the issue was solved/fixed.

Here is the link to the plugin:
