your host has probably disabled it.

solution: Get a better host.

not really just make sure on the send email options you check the box that says send emails to members who DO NOT wish to recieve emails
 
That's true of course... better he just sends one email to himself first, if that fails time to contact the tech dudes for your hosting. Mail functions are usually disabled on cheap shit or freebie hosting so if you're on that... you're prolly gonna be SOL.

First thing you need to find out is if php mail() works.

Here is a php script you can use to check it. Use it to send an email to yourself.

PHP:
<?

// ---------------- SEND MAIL FORM ----------------

// send e-mail to ...
$to="[email protected]";

// Your subject
$subject="Test";

// From
$header="from: your name <[email protected]>";

// Your message
$message="Hello \r\n";
$message.="This is test\r\n";
$message.="Test again ";

// send email
$sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

// if your email succesfully sent
if($sentmail){
echo "Email Has Been Sent .";
}
else {
echo "Cannot Send Email ";
}

?>



Edit the two email addresses to match your site emails. Save it out as anything you like, copy it up to your root folder and run it. You should get the email right away.

The configuration for vBulletin uses your SMTP email. Sometimes the ISP blocks port 25 because of spammers. If you get the php email. you should contact your host provider and ask them what the settings are for your SMTP email. They should be exactly the same as you use for your POP email on your host account. Does your webmaster email work? If so, your vBulletin email should work also.

HTH,

Let me know how your test goes.
