Everything appears to be working with the invite module, it adds the address to the list, shows it as pending and provides userpoints but it only sends the actual invite email if I am logged in under the admin account. Is there some other permission or access I need to supply to the authenticated users to be able to send the actual email?

Normally this is not required. Are you using a special mailing module or the default built-in?

I'm having the same problem, none of my users can send out invites even though in admin/user/access "send invitations" is selected.

It doesn't even display pending invitations... Everything works fine, of course, when I'm signed in as the Admin.

I'm using mime mail, and alos have the notify and send modules installed. If you need anymore info please ask.

Did your already take a look at the recent log entries at admin/logs/watchdog? Any 3rd party mail module should report any errors it encountered while sending the invitation, and probably more valuable information than printed on screen.

Second, could you please post your Invite email settings (from admin/user/invite)? I suspect these settings can in fact break sending emails, at least if a mail server is configured to protect from spam emails, and only certain combinations thereof.

Hi Stefan, thanks for your quick response.

I've checked all the logs, but there are'nt any messages related to a failed invitation. I should mention that the invite form simply clears and refreshes the page.

My invite settings are as follows, and I have tried changing some, to no avail:

User settings:

All Roles: Authenticaed user
Expiry: 60 days
Allow deletion: no

Role Limitations: All at 1000

Multiple Invitations: All at 10

Email settings:
From: Site
Reply-to: Site
Advanced settings: none

Invite page customization: none

I hope that helps you!!!

Thanks,
Owen

The new Invite 1.9 release contains code that sets correct email headers. These wrong headers could - to my knowledge and only in certain environments - lead to SMTP servers simply rejecting emails.

If you're able to and have some spare time, could you please test the new release to see if this could be the reason?

Feel free to reopen if this is still an issue with the latest module release.
