people cannot register

Hello,
I updated my site to 1.3.9rc1
But now people can't register anymore.
I bypassed the problem (because the error was also there with the CVS version) by replacing the code that checks if the user email address is valid by this:
/**
* Checks to see if email address is valid.
*
* This function checks to see if an email address is in the correct from.
*
* @param string $email Email address to verify
* @return boolean True if valid otherwise false
*
*/
function COM_isemail( $email )
{
if( eregi( "^([-_0-9a-z])+([-._0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*.[a-z]{2,3}$", $email, $check ))
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
}
but that doesn't work anymore.. what's wrong?
thanks

What does "But now people can't register anymore" mean exactly? What happens?
Are you using the PEAR classes or not ($_CONF['have_pear'])? And which version of PHP is your site running on?

When people have entered their email address and their username they get a blank page
I am running PHP Version 4.3.0 and pear is disabled in config.php
how do i know if pear is installed? which section, which directive/variable?
do I have to enable pear in config.php or should it work without it?
this is in my server error log:
the errors says something about pear, but it's disabled in config.php, how's that possible?

You can't really disable PEAR. You can either chose to use the PEAR classes included with Geeklog (that's $_CONF['have_pear'] = false) or use the PEAR classes already installed on your server ($_CONF['have_pear'] = true).
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to find out whether PEAR is already installed or not (other than trying to use it). So if in doubt, leave it at $_CONF['have_pear'] = false.

From the error message you quoted above, it appears that PEAR::Mail is using the fifth parameter in the call to PHP's mail() function and that your hosting service has configured PHP so that that is not allowed.
In earlier versions, when Geeklog was calling mail() by itself, it wasn't using that fifth parameter, so you didn't have that problem before.
So it appears you can't use the 'backend' => 'mail' option on your site. Try switching to 'sendmail' or 'smtp' instead.
