email notifications on xoops 2.0.16

I am using XOOPS 2.0.16 and wiwi as the wiki for the site. Somehow, when people put comments on the wiki pages - notifications aren't sent.

This has never happened to me on xoops...

I looked at the mail admin, and tried to use all the different options (php, sendmail, SMTP, etc..) - but no joy.

The system does send mail from admin to users, but I don't know if both, system mail and notifications, use the same mechanism to send mail...

Any idea what should I look at to fix it..?

Thanks!

Thanks, hervet.

Seems that it might be the case of the whole mailing system being a bug as it doesn't work on SMTP either..

Have you used the SMTPAuth method ?

Yup, I have used SMTPAuth - but no joy either..
Do you know if there's a way around that..? (Apart from waiting for the next version..;) )

Thanks!

I had the same problem. I was using QMail on the server, and all attempts to send failed. I tried the identical complete site and database on a server with just sendmail, and it worked.

I stopped qmail and reinstalled sendmail on the first server, and it worked. I haven't tried any other MTAs or tried PHP Mail or SMTP yet.

I also noticed that the upgrade contains the phpmailer.lang-en.php file in the language folder, but it isn't transferred to {url}/class/mail/phpmailer. There is a README file that tells you how to set the language.
