have customised this fantastic little piece of kit easily enough!

however - another bloody email problem of course - have set it up with JMAIL (installed on server) with the correct mail server but when i am registering test accounts i don't get any emails sent

am i wrongly expecting the system to send the admin email account an email to request that a user requires activation?

the forum has to be controlled by only allowing certain members (approved) to be able to read the content - sorted that bit out but cant get this email thing working!!

so to recap:

1. have setup the forum to my requirements successfully (locally and on host)
2. require admin account to get email requesting the approval of any members applying to forum
3. need email to be setup correctly - have found lots of posts on this but can't nail the problem down....

any advice would be greatly appreciated guys

No, there is no e-mail sent to the admin when someone registers.

so its down to the admin to login and verify users on the database?

is there an available mod for this kind of functionality anywhere guys?

by having this extra function it would take the administrative time away from the site

all it would need is a simple email sent out to admin account(s) with nothing more than "a member has registered - please login and authenticate"

im sure there is soemthing out there for this!

also secondary problem - i cant seem to sort out the email setup correctly...the server has JMAIL and the server settings have been setup as per the hosts instructions but no emails seem to be coming from the forum...

and clues?

Or you could add the following code to register.asp just after the inc_mail.asp and the <% (at line 603):

				'################################### Administrator Notification Mod ########################

				strRecipientsName = strSender
				strRecipients = strSender
				strFrom = strSender
				strFromName = strSender
				strsubject = strForumTitle & " Registration "
				strMessage = "The new registration of: " & Request.Form("Name") & " (" & Request.Form("Email") & ") has occured at " & strForumTitle & " (" & strForumURL & ")." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Go and check out: " & strForumURL & "admin_accounts_pending.asp to get their full details." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Cheers," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Webmaster @ " & strForumTitle
%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_mail.asp" -->
<%
				'######################################################################################

This does send an e-mail to the admin when a new user registers.

Cheers,
