Hello,
I set all of that up for self registration, now the problem is that when i test it, it only sends confirmation emails to my bluehost email address, which is where my moodle site originates. It does not confirm gmail registrants and probably all other emails such as yahoo, hotmail, etc..
I talked to bluehost and they asked where did the confirmation email to my bluehost email come from. It came from a yahoo address, which was the email address i used for my moodle site admin profile. Bluehost told me they couldn't help me because they couldn't look at the logs in that it came from a yahoo address. So I changed the admin address to a bluehost address but when i test it, it with a registrant that has a bluehost email the confirmation email is still sent from the yahoo address. thus, i'm tyirng to figure out where I change the from address from the yahoo to the bluehost.
Is there anything else to consider. Man this moodle is so hardcore every step. Doesn't give you an inch.
I checked moodle forum regarding this and saw your post, thus i called my hosting, but what i wrote above is what transpired:
You
need to talk to your host about what settings to use. There cannot be
instructions because everyone has a different email server and the
settings are dependent on the server. But you could try just putting
your basic email settings in the admin/plugin/messaging/email setup and
see if that helps.
Any help is appreciated,
joseph
