TOPIC: Email Confirmations Not Working

For security purposes we use SMTP for our mail setting in setting for Joomla.

In version 3.0+ we are not able to get email confirmation to send out.
Error: Notice: Could not instantiate mail function.

We tested the function by creating a new Joomla user to see if that user received their login details and they did.

Joomla 2.5 and DT Register versions work great with SMTP.

So with that said, any suggestions on how to track down the issue with DT 3.0 and SMTP?

We are having the same issues.

I have confirmed that when global configuration is set to SMTP with authentication required, it actually is not sending the AUTH command. DT Register still defaults to “Sendmail” and does to switch over based on server setting. How we can get a fix on this soon.

Want to see if anyone had a fix for this? At this point all of our confirmations are having to be sent manually.

Hi,

we are having the same issue. Due to server we are forced to use SMTP settings on the Joomla Configuration settings. This causes DT REgister not sending any emails even when sending emails is enabled from DT REgister backend.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon!

Greetings,

Thanks for you post. We have tried every possible configuration on our end. It connect via SMTP but does not use/pass authentication parameters.
