I'm having trouble receiving email when new users register in CB 1.2.2. and Joomla 1.5.18

I've checked other forum posts and have tried all of the following that was suggested:

-"send moderator emails" is YES in the config
-The super admin can receive moderator emails in the CB user management section
-I've tried all three ways to send email through the config, SMTP, sendmail, and PHP.
-The global config mail from, registration email, and reply to email are all the same as the super admin. I've also tried different combination's of emails in these fields to no avail.

Now whats really weird is:

- Mass Mail can send to all users no problem
-The user signing up DOES receive an email every time they register, but not the admin.

This is driving me nuts. Can someone help?

I am having the exact same problem, support would be greatly appreciated.

Hi krileon, thanks for the quick response. I have tried all of your suggestions with no success.

I called my hosting company and they claim that an email is not even being sent from joomla to the admin on the server. They are able to trace the email to the user that's registering no problem.

Is it a problem that I have the same email for the global config email, reply to email, from email, and the admin in the user manager?

I'm able to send to the admin no problem from other components like CK forms but not from Comm Builder.

Any other suggestions? I'd really like to use comm builder for this project.

Well I feel stupid. It turns out the admin email will not be generated until the user confirms his email. Glad I spent half my day trying to figure that out
