smtp server is not hosted locally, it is hosted by my ISP at smtp.comcast.net so I do not have access to it. BUT I know it works as I used it to send this email. The registernewuser page is <http://systemwerks.dyndns.biz/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/RegisterNewUser?xpage=code&> and this was copied and pasted from xwiki.com. I have another xwiki at my place of work and smtp works well. I previously had copied and pasted that code for registernewuser and that did not help. It's almost as if it does try to send the email but something never lets it get through to the smtp server and I see no error messages. I also tried the demo code from the send an email page from xwiki.org examples and it works <http://systemwerks.dyndns.biz/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/Sending+Mail?xpage=code&>

I'm stumped. The code at work is good and that same code fails at my personal site.

Hi,

To troubleshoot this first check your preferences and make sure you have a running SMTP server at the IP specified in the preferences.
Do you see any email coming in the SMTP server, do you see any exception in the log ?
The registernewuser page needs to have the parameter set to tell it to work with confirmations.
It seems weird to me that the registration works without email being sent.
If confirmation was activated users should not have the "Active" field set to "true"

Hi,

My new users who register on my xwiki site appear to not be able to recieve email consfirmations on registraiton.

I'm using the latest stable release and have discovered that smtp (for email registration) appears to have stopped working. It did work previously with customized RegisterNewUser and RegisterNewUserConfirmation pages. To rule out my customizations, I copied and pasted the version on xwiki and this did not help.
How do I start troubleshooting this?

Regards,
Dennis
