That's a lot of copying and pasting!

Folks I have to tell you that it's getting old having person after person write "I cannot duplicate that problem" in regards to cb NOT sending emails.

It is happening and it's all over this forum. What is the problem?

Everyone is acting like this isn't happening but it is. It's frustrating as all h e double hockey sticks for crying out loud!

The setups are mainly the same as are the results. IF you enable cb_login for registration the emails are NOT being sent out. It's that simple. I know personally that I have checked and TRIPLE checked my settings and they ARE correct yet NO REG EMAILS.. why?

I found this ..

"I just spent a few hours on this issue, checking and comparing code.

Then tested from community builder with SMTP and authentication, and it works fine.

Did you make sure the "from" address (in the CB configuration->registration tab) matches your domain ?

Did you have or try to put the same as the "from" address of your joomla installation ?

If yes, and it still doesn't work, please PM me a SMTP server and the user/password used that works with joomla but not with CB."

That is about the most ..well I won't say what I want here.. thing I've ever read. Why would it matter what email address you are using? Is this program that fragile, really? The WHOLE idea of using SMTP for some of us is that we don't have an email server... helloooooo.... so we use our ISP's server... The program is not working. I have sat here for over 3 hours trying every setting I could find here to set and it's NOT working... WHY?

Here's a bit of good news ladies and gents. I have given krileon access to my joomla admin and we had the following conversation.

Beat,

I am having a difficult time understanding your last post. Krileon logged onto my system like you suggested and he said it was definitely a CB issue. I am definitely not arguing with you, it just seems your last post contradicts what he told me...so I would like to know where to go from here???

Thanks so much for tour time.

It's CB or server or both. It still needs investigation. However, it appears to be an SMTP related issue.

There's no definitive answer or fix at this time. At this point you're in the position to wait for the fix or attempt to use a different mail server (this would be beneficial to us if you tried different mail servers as well and reported the results).

I apologize for the confusion.

Krileon, you the man! I did what you said and it's working. I fixed my problem. It is an authentication issue with SMTP. I turned the authentication off and it worked like a champ.

I am hosting my own exchange 2003 mail server and since it's on my localhost I do not have to worry about authentication. If I turn authentication back on, it doesn't work. So, my assumption is authenticating an SMTP server is an issue.

I hope this helps.
