No Welcome and Confirmation email?

[eqbookz]

Hi, I have installed LM to the stage where I have configured STMP and bounced message handling and receive a positive response to Mail server test:
Bounce handling is enabled? yes, using a mailbox
connected!
verified!
bounced message mailbox is configured correctly

SMTP server
enabled Yes
Connected!
Verified!
Sending test email to remote address ... Success!

Using SMTP AUTH and POP3 email account for bounce with aliases - configured and tested on my host.
Have also tried authorise by checking email - no result.

The Problem:-
Welcome email and confirmation mail not sent.

mail to admin email not sent/received on signup etc

I can send email to manually added users
and new users signed up via the form ARE showing in database as unconfirmed of course

Can some whiz please assist me on this as I have spent many hours trying to work out the logic of this problem. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Stephen,

ListMail uses SMTP for, usually larger, list email.  However, welcome and confirm messages use an internal PHP function called mail().  If this function is not operational on your server you might experience the symptoms you describe.  Some things that might affect operation of this function are your 'bounce to' (config) and 'send from' (list settings) email addresses.  For best results, these addresses should be @ the same domain ListMail is installed on.  If this doesn't fix it then you will need to talk to your host about the PHP mail() function not being operational.

My Welcome emails and confirmation mails are not sent either. I am checking now with my website host to see if there is a problem with my PHP function called mail().
