TXP not e-mailing passwords
I’m trying to change a password for one of my users. TXP says the e-mail is being sent, but I never receive it. I’ve checked the spam folder; it’s not there, either.
I tried deleting and re-creating the account, and that doesn’t seem to work, either.
Since I can’t see the user’s password or set it manually, I seem to be stuck.
Any ideas?

Re: TXP not e-mailing passwords
Do you receive emails otherwise? For example, when someone comments on your site do you receive an email notification of it?
A lot of Webhosts have been disabling the mail(); function and other similar routines to avoid spam. If you want to check for sure if you have access to the mail(); function in php you can write a quick script like this and run it by saving it as mail.php on your webserver and directing your browser to it:
<code>
<?php
$to = “youremail@yourdomain.tld”;
$subject = “Hi!”;
$body = “Hi,\n\nHow are you?”;
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo(“<p>Message successfully sent!</p>”);
} else {
echo(“<p>Message delivery failed…</p>”);
}
?>
