thanks ruirib... i've found one... ahhh how ignorant of me for not searching that in the first place. i'll try the code and will let you know. anyways thanks for helping.
Hi again, I did a lot of testing which includes modifying inc_mail.asp where i hardcoded the username and password for the administrator email address. validation email is still not sent to the user. so i put back the original code and this is what i found: if a user email address is from the same domain then the user will get the email, otherwise.. nothing. so i put back the modified inc_mail.asp and tried to register a user with the same domain, but this time it failed to send anything.
my domain name is bbpfc.org if a user puts in say for eg. kakibola@bbpfc.org as the email address during registration then the user will get a validation email. other than that, no email received.
i really need the help because as for now i will have to active users who registers to my forum manually. meaning that i have check the forum every now and then.
i did a search on email relaying problem in this forum and found one on how to fooled the mail server which has set to no email relay. i changed the pop_mail.asp to as follows: strFrom=strSender strFromName=Request.Form("YEmail")
and then i changed the email component form ASPEmail to CDONTS, and it all works.... yeee haaaa!!!
anyone who has the same problem as mine could try to do the same, but no guarantees though....
i did ask them but they say that the email server is allowing relay and ask me to change the email component to CDONTS. at first it is still not working but after i made the changes in pop_mail.asp it worked. now i suspect that they (the host) is not giving me the right info. anyway thanks again. i will ask them again if they do have a server which permits relaying.
