confirmation emails not going out...

[Telegon80]

i have so far 13 users who did not get the confirmation email and were stuck in the 'Users Awaiting Email Confirmation' usergroup.

is there a way to just 'let them in' per say?

Try this:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Enable "-f" Parameter -> Yes

Then try the vB email functions. If it still doesn't work, then this is either a server and/or mailbox issue.

vB uses PHP's mail() function for all its email and uses the SMTP server specified in php.ini. If PHP and the mail server are configured correctly then email will work.

Since some email is working, you will need to view the mail logs on the server to see what happened to those emails that don't work. Once vB sends it to PHP it's in the hands of the server. If you are on a shared server you may need to ask your host to look through the logs for you.

okey i changed the settings.

is this going to send out the emails that were not sent? or do i have to send them manually?

is there a way of sending that email to all those users in one shot? or do i have to send one by one.

You can send a mass email to the 'Users Awaiting' group and use $activatelink in the body of the message.

Admin CP -> Users -> Send Email to Users

Make sure you only choose the Users Awaiting group.
