Activation and normal emails aren't sending

[ahughes3]

I am getting an issue where none of the emails I send are being sent. I have put my name and email address into the local config file but whatever I send just doesn't arrive.

I've checked on the documentation part of this site, can't find anything there and also nothing under tutorials. Also searched the forums and found one similar but not the same as my issue. Anyone help me understand the process used to send the emails in phpvms so I can fault find somehow?

Thanks

try putting these settings in your local.config

# Email Settings
Config::Set('EMAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Name to be displayed');
Config::Set('EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', 'from@email.com');
Config::Set('EMAIL_USE_SMTP', true);
# Add multiple SMTP servers by separating them with ;
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_SERVERS', 'yourmailserver');
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_PORT', '25');
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_USE_AUTH', false);
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_USER', 'fullusernameofemail');
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_PASS', 'passwordofemail');

As far as I can see, I have these details set up. Sky emails use smtp.tools.sky.com which is what I have entered, the rest are just my personal details which are again correct. Is there anything else that could be stopping the emails from sending do you think?

Ok sorted it, not sure quite what was going on but there was a bit of a delay and then the emails were arriving in my spam box on sky. For some reason they weren't forwarding to my email software. Deleted the local.config re-downloaded it from the live server, tried the settings again and they worked.

Thanks as always for the advice Vangelis.
