confirmation email

hi guy's, I have a problem and I hope you guys can help me. When members register with my website, they are suppose to receive a confirmation email or if the forget their password, they are suppose to receive an email. The website isn't sending the emails.

Is your Cron job set up correctly? Or is the site sending emails but is blacklisted, so the emails are going to a spam/junk folder?

What I did to fix this problem was create a html block in the join page and name it Important Notice, then wrote in red letters that after signing up you must check your spam mail to make sure email from us don't get sent there.

I had that same problem, and it drove me nuts till I realize that because my site was new; mails from it would automatically go to spam folder.

its not sending at all. cron job is set at default. Fantascio  install it for me.

What are the settings for cron job for the email?

Have a search in the forums for the optimum cron settings - we changed ours last year as per a post in the forums and all works very nicely. 'Search' is your friend!

Searched forums, but no clear cut answer for setting cron job on cpanel for my email.

This is my cron settings in Cpanel: ***** cd /home/adultswi/public_html/periodic; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php

This is what we've been rocking and rolling with for a year:

/usr/bin/php -c /home/SERVER/public_html/php.ini -q /home/SERVER/public_html/SUBDIRECTORY/periodic/cron.php

...but of course each situation is different. I'm assuming you've thoroughly read this:

still not working.
