which email configurations should i do so phpbb can send email?

when a user makes a registration he doesn't receive an email to activate his account.

i dont know wich configuration use

i also try with gmail configuration and still not working

with a gmail configuration the error is:

Erro no email
» EMAIL/SMTP
/adm/index.php

Não foi possível ligar ao servidor SMTP : 101 : Network is unreachable

Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Network is unreachable) at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1122

The only setup to use the PHP mail() function is to have a valid Email address in your x10hosting's free-hosting account

external [ SMTP ] is blocked on x10hosting's free-hosting servers
all Email must go out through outbound spam filters on 10hosting's SMTP server - to be scanned for spam and phishing and other test - messages with no body content - and HTML-only mail (mail with no plain text part) - and messages with no subject - and messages that just say "Testing" (or like that) - and anything else that looks "spammy" (as far as the outbound mail filters are concerned) will be silently discarded - or sometimes the transfer to the SMTP server fails - you will not receive any notice when it fails

spoofing the [ From ] header is not allowed - Emails with the [ From ] header not set with a working Email address that exists and is actually part of your x10hosting's free-hosting account will be silently discarded - you will not receive any notice

you can not set the [ From ] header to a user's email address or to your own external email address - if you need to easily reply to the emails - then set the [ Reply-To ] header (which can be different from the [ From ] header)
