I have just installed geeklog and most of it seems to be working fine but none of the mail functions are working. Contact us, mail password to new user etc are not working. There appears to be no error messages just no mail gets through. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? In other applications I have had to set the path to mail but in geeklog I can't find anywhere to set this.

Geeklog just uses PHP's built-in mail() function, so that's why you can't configure email in Geeklog.
Make sure you have email support set up properly in PHP, then it should work with Geeklog as well. For a start, check the email settings in your php.ini file (and don't forget to restart your webserver when you make any changes in that file).
Hope that helps.
bye, Dirk

I had a similar problem with my FreeBSD, Sendmail setup. I have DSL service and was able to send email from my server (hosting geeklog) to my internal domain but not externally. I was getting DNS errors in my sendmail logs.
Have you checked your SMTP logs?
My ISP was not letting the mail out - spam policy about other smtp servers within their network. I configured my sendmail to use the ISP's smart SMTP host, restarted the sendmail process and all my mail that was hung up went out - problem solved.

You can probably gather I am a newbie with PHP.
I hope someone can give me an answer as to why mail doesn't work. I don't have access to change php.ini
Send mail is working fine so my ISP is not blocking mail out.
In the config.php there is a line
$_CONF['site_mail'] = 'jerry.green@associates88.fsnet.co.uk'
This is my normal mail adress. Is this what should be set?
Here is complete copy of answer when I run command
<? phpinfo(); ?>

I'm an idiot.
Contact us is now working by setting adress in user admin. Why doesn't it pick up the adress from config.php? New user mail is still not working.
Thanks in advance for your help.

My mail is at last working. After three days trying I finally have a flood of mail.
There must have been a problem somewhere but I don't know what.
Thankyou to those who have tried to help me.
