registration email not being sent.

[Mathew Brown]

Hi all,

When users register on my site an activation email isn't being sent, although the registration_complete.html page shows up. I've setup my email address as the SUPPORT_EMAIL_ADDRESS in settings but no joy. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Mat

Looks like sendmail isn't installed and doesn't seem to want to. I'll work getting that setup.

K, sendmail is installed and I've restarted it but still no emails are going out.

Matthew,

We encountered a sendmail problem (which may or may not be the one you are experiencing) around hostnames.

Try doing the following (feel free to use a domain other than "mail.example.com"):

$ vim /etc/hostname # Make contents "mail.example.com"
$ hostname -F /etc/hostname
$ vim /etc/hosts # Add "mail.example.com" to the end of the localhost line

It would also be a good idea to take a look at /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/mail.err (if you are not on an Ubuntu machine, the sendmail logs may be in a different place) to see if there are any details about the specific problem.

Thanks, I’ve looked at these files and I think it’s a hostnames issue, I just can’t get it working. I’m able to send email from the command line 

 /usr/sbin/sendmail

but I’ve played around with the hostname and host files and I still come up with errors

dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error

Micheal I chained the name in the hostname file to: mail.example.com and added it to hosts but I’m still getting an error. Hmmm.

This seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the help!
