Hi
I have had a small Moodle installation running for three months.
The last couple of weeks no mail have been sent out from the forums.
I have not changed anything. I use a smtphost account for sending mail.
Cron has been working previously, and still says that everything is ok.
My moodle-site is being hosted by an external provider.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Thor,
You might be encountering the same problem I've been having. See thread http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=33974 for my solution. Maybe it will work for you!

Thank you Ralph, for your suggestion; I have tested both with a smtp user and without.
My web admin account's email also is within the same domain as my moodle setup, but still no mails...
Any other suggestions, folks?
Could this have something to do with changes done in the setup of the webserver?
And what kind of settings would affect the behaviour of cron/sending of mails?

Let's circle closer to the error...
Try out another SMTP-Host
There many freemail services providing pop3/smtp-access. Create an account, change the admin email to the new address and fill in the new login/password for smtp-auth.
a) it works - congratulations, there is something wrong with your server configuration
* the number of mails delivered by the same sender often is limited, e.g. postfix sais definitely "no" with more than 250 mails (base config).
* you are blacklisted for some reasons, e.g. exorbitant mail delivery...
b) it works not - bad
* maybe new firewall settings are preventing contact to the smtp-server (check this out by using a email-client like thunderbird..)
* your moodle-installation is damaged - update?
