What is your setting in XOOPS administration -> system admin -> Preferences -> Mail Setup for "Mail delivery method"?

If not, try to change it.

Also check with your hosting company FAQ/Support with:

Quote:
**** is not permitted to relay mail, or has directly called /usr/sbin/exim instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.

When I rebuilt my site from a clean install of 2.0.18 I found that "Sendmail" wasn't working when it was before. I think this is a server rather than XOOPS issue, though.

I switched to phpmail and all works well.

Before contacting your hosting compay's support, in Mail Setup make sure the "Path to Sendmail" is "/usr/sbin/sendmail".

Also, try phpmail instead of sendmail.

i have tried using phpmail and sendmail and it both produces the same result...mail delivery failed email send to inbox...
my path to sendmail is correct /usr/sbin/sendmail

i tried to change the path to sendmail to /usr/sbin/exim
but it is still not working.....do i need to fill the other fields ? from address & from name, smtphost username etc

i just tested...my liaise modules also not working
i've contacted my hosting..i'll wait for their response

by the way i'm using 2018rc1
