Joomla/SMF Forum not sending emails

[martipe]

Why doesn't my forum (nor Joomla) send registration emails nor password reset emails (no emails at all)? what must I do? what must I configurate?

Hello,

Do you have them configured to send through PHP Mail() or an SMTP server?

Thanks for your reply, but I don't know how to configurate it (I have the Joomla hacks SMF Bridge 2.0.2). Could you please explain me how to do it?

If you want to use SMTP (That is, a server other than x10hosting, like GMail, yahoo, or ones that are specially for the purpose of sending email), see http://x10hosting.com/forums/free-hosting/113443-using-gmail-smf.html

I made that from my experience, so it's just GMail.

However, if you want to use PHP (that is of x10hosting), just keep the default settings. And ofcourse, if that doesn't work, follow the link above.

Thanks Smartflight, I did what you said but I get this error message when I try to register on Joomla:

Warning: fsockopen() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/martipev/public_html/includes/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 105
