New member registrations stopped 3 days ago

[D. Thomas]

I have my CP set up so that I visit "users awaiting moderation" to check each new registratant before approving. For years been getting 40 or so per day...but as of 3 days ago...zero. I checked "user registration options" in CP and all settings still correct. I checked "show new users" and sure enough there are about 80+ new registrants "awaiting email confirmation".

I did a test registration myself and the email address I used never received the confirming email....so I guess the issue is the forum software is not sending out the emails now ?


Any idea what happened and how to fix it ?

If one email is failing they all are. Has something change? SMTP settings? PHP upgrade? Can you switch to use SMTP email instead of php mail?

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Email Settings

The system works fine - its still using the PHP engine. We can setup the SMTP without problems. However I can see that e-mails are still coming... Not all of them...

If one email is going out, then they all are. Something else somewhere is stoping them.
