Forums activation email

[justin2234]

So i have a forums that when you sign up it sends you a activation email which io was hosting the website off a basic nfo web hosting. Then i moved the database/ftp to a unmanaged 1 core linux vds and now people are reporting that emails arent being sent yet i didnt change anything with the forums about this. Any help?

What type of forum are you using and what do the mail settings look like?

MyBB and the mail settings are set to php mail. If im missing something to address to you please let me know.

I found this error
MyBB was unable to send the email using the PHP mail() function.
So im having issues with php mail, but i never used SMTP since i see that as a second option. Any fix for the php mail? Or would i have to switch to SMTP

Well thanks to Charlie from nfo customer service for the help!

I was missing sendmail entirely so i just installed it via vnc console with this command "sudo apt-get install sendmail" and it worked perfectly now.
