I really need some help! The email stuff in Drupal doesn't work! When users try to create an account, a confirmation email isn't sent to their email address. Why is this? I can't seem to find where I can configure email parameters in Drupal. I'm really new to this. Plus, what configurations do I set? Somebody help!

Dang I have the same problem with my dupal install.... I was wondering why my new site had about 50 users listed, but only a few of them had logged in to post!!! I created a few test acounts and never received an email with the initial password... how does one go about troubleshooting this?!?!

1. Have you checked that the email isn't going to their spam folder?

2. Is SMTP running on your server?

it's not going to spam.

In Drupal's php.ini I have: SMTP= localhost

My Drupal install is running on a VPS and I have created an email account called: registration@example.com
In Druapl/admin/settings/site-information I have 'registration@example.com' as the email address for automated emails.

I don't know, works for my site. And this may be a silly question, but is 'registration@example.com' (whatever the real address is) a valid email address? If there were an email request that bounced back, would that address get it?

I'm guessing you have, but have you checked error logs? There might be a clue in there...

Yes I actually created an email address called "registration@example.com" using my server's cpanel.

Regarding error logs, which error log would that be? A Drupal error log? A server side error log?
