email not working

[Big Daddy]

On the admincp, there is an option to email all members. It gives you an option to send as a test, which just tests the settings (I guess), or the option to actually send out an email to all your members.....

Well, my "test" comes back "Okay" for everyone, but when I send a real email to everyone, it doesn't go out????????? I am registered twice (with different email addresses) and I don't get the email at either address. I even select the option to send send to everyone, even those who declined to receive admin emails.

What could be wrong?

Thanks,
Rob

Does your board sent out any other mails (subscription notifications/registration mails)?

[Big Daddy]

i am not sure...... i don't think so. Would that matter???

actually, come to think of it, I used to have it set up to send out confirmation emails before allowing anyone to become registered, but I was having problems with that because people weren't receiveing the confirmation email, so I turned that setting off.

Sounds to me that mail is not correct configured on your server. Please contact your host to fix it.

I know it worked once before....Because after the problem I had with people not receiving the confirmation emails, I changed the setting, and emailed everyone to let them know I had changed it.... That email went out, but it hasn't worked after that. Where would I check and update any settings in vbulletin???

Try:
ACP->Maintenance->Diagnostics->Email
And post the results.

I ran the test, and it worked fine. I received the test email...... The diagnostic results came back good... Here is what it said.

No errors were returned while attempting to send the email. Check rob@bikebuilders.com shortly to confirm you've received the email. If you don't receive the email, try sending the test to a different address. If that fails, check your mail server's configuration.

Any ideas??????

Nope, all mail sending is handled by the standard php functions. If 1 is working the others should be working also.
