Registration email notifications not coming through?

[erinch]

I am running my new vb board around the block before opening it up. I have the settings to require that new users activate via an email link, and then be moderated before joining. The initial email that there is a new user are taking close to half an hour to arrive, to a gmail address, and there are no emails after activation to moderate.

Should I be getting two emails? Is there a way to speed up their arrival?

How do I trouble-shoot this?

I tried searching for the same issue, but couldn't find ... I'm fine with links explaining.

thanks,
Erin Cox-Holmes

Moderation isn't necessary. Just use a simple q&a (don't use captcha). 30 minutes does seem long, but may be a server issue. When you send test emails from AdminCP>Maintenance>Diagnostics does it take that long?

when I send test from AdminCP>Maintenance>Diagnostics it does not go. I can not send emails at all... i dont know that is happening all of a sudden

If it just started happening and you didn't change anything, contact your host.

Note though, in future you may not want to post in very old threads like this.
