Hi everyone I'm new to x10hosting but I'm loving it, my dad pays for his server and it's has less stuff than this one so I'm very happy with it so far. So far I'm only having one problem and it's with my Phpbb Forum the sendmail doesn't seem to be working I'm not getting any errors but just not receiving the e-mails. For example when they register it's not sending the activation email. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank You,
Brian

first, you should read the faq's

second, you should have upgraded to php v2 in your account panel (no Cpanel)

If you're not receiving an error it's hard to tell. Try adding your site to the whitelist wherever your Email is hosted at and try signing up again, see if it comes through then.

I read something about someone having to use there x10 email to get it working, are you using an x10 email account to send the mail? Or something else? If you aren't using your x10 email account, try it, then see if that works.

I'm just using sendmail the intermediate php says sendmail works so it should work, as for the smtp with x10hosting email I tried it a couple times didn't seem to work not to mention that I can't even send regular email from horde using the account i'm thinking it's all related and they just haven't told us yet.

The sendmail is working perfectly fine for my account, in my login/register script...So i don't think it has something to do with the servers, maybe your code is incorrect?

It's phpbb2 premade forum the code should work fine I haven't edited it at all. It's going to sendmail fine but the sendmail program is kicking it back to my xhosting mail, also I cannot send e-mail using horde and that is xhostings code so it's not mine.

I just registered at your forum to see if it would work still haven't gotten the e-mail.

I just tried doing the same thing with this script:
Code: 
<html>
<head><title>PHP Mail Sender</title></head>
<body>
<?php

/* All form fields are automatically passed to the PHP script through the array $HTTP_POST_VARS. */
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];

/* PHP form validation: the script checks that the Email field contains a valid email address and the Subject field isn't empty. preg_match performs a regular expression match. It's a very powerful PHP function to validate form fields and other strings - see PHP manual for details. */
if (!preg_match("/\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*/", $email)) {
  echo "<h4>Invalid email address</h4>";
  echo "<a href='javascript:history.back(1);'>Back</a>";
} elseif ($subject == "") {
  echo "<h4>No subject</h4>";
  echo "<a href='javascript:history.back(1);'>Back</a>";
}

/* Sends the mail and outputs the "Thank you" string if the mail is successfully sent, or the error string otherwise. */
elseif (mail($email,$subject,$message)) {
  echo "<h4>Thank you for sending email</h4>";
} else {
  echo "<h4>Can't send email to $email</h4>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

never got the email you can try it at http://knightreign.x10hosting.com/mail/mail.html maybe it's both of my e-mail addresses but I have put them in the whitelist.

i had the same problem, but i think that the reason was the system i used to send mails (phpfusion has some file corrupted).

I'm not sure how but I'm not getting errors which means the code is fine, I tried 2 separate scripts for sendmail it should work?
Edit:
Basically it tries to send the mail but never gets there and gets kick backed to the main account here is one of the kickbacks:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

9svn6@976online.com
The mail server could not deliver mail to 9svn6@976online.com. The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries.
