Have you tried to uninstall it? From the looks of the installation instructions, you will have to back out the changes you made when you installed the hack.

To trouble shoot the email system correctly, you need to first use the maintenance feature in the admincp --> Maintenance --> Diagnostics --> Email

You can also try the smtp option in vbulletin admincp --> vbulletin options --> email options

If neither option works, you would have to view your email log on the server and find out why email is not being sent out, this would require root access to the server.

While I concur with the troubleshooting advice in general, I believe that some of the installation steps for the hack that is installed (if they are still enabled) may be preventing your "standard" email access from being accessed, specifically,
Step 1.

In admincp/email.php

find ;

vbmail($user['email'], $vbulletin->GPC['subject'], $sendmessage, true, $vbulletin->GPC['from']);

change to ;

vbmail($user['email'], $vbulletin->GPC['subject'], $sendmessage, false, $vbulletin->GPC['from']); // Paul M - Queue Admin Mail //



Step 2.

In includes/functions.php

find ;

exec_mail_queue();

change to ;

// exec_mail_queue(); // Paul M - Cron Mail Queue Hack //
