    I recently installed PostNuke Phoenix 0.750 Gold (.zip) and have been on the learning curve for about a week. I was testing out how things in one administration area might affect others and registered a few *users* to see how things could be worked. I asked PN to email me (as a user) my password, or the confirmation code, which I assume will unlock someother gate, but my *user* email is never received. Likewise, I don't receive e-mails that I send to "all registered users."

    I can use PN as the Admin to send the same *user* an email and the mail comes through. Where should I look to solve this?

    If your test address is hotmail, it appears that hotmail is filtering PostNuke password emails as spam. This has been a problem for the past few weeks.

    Nice to know about hotmail, but it wasn't a free-mail addy. I also created a second *user* and the email wasn't received there either. Could it be that some others have some sort of block on the password emails, tho I'm also not getting email sent to all users...

    Have a look at this thread:

    http://forums.postnuke.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=32894&highlight=hotmail

    nate's comment toward the bottom is very informative and helpful for any server that might do a reverse DNS lookup - which is a lot of them. Or at least it should be a lot of them. Check it out - he clearly knows more about this than I do :)
