Re: Mail() function not working
It would be interesting to know which Linux distribution is installed on that server and which mailserver software (MTA) is installed (and which version), because this is really strange. I’ve tried this myself on both Postfix and Exim (both well known MTAs) and could not reproduce your problem.
I don’t think it’s a TXP bug. Could be non-standard behaviour of the mail transfer agent (MTA) installed.
PS. since you DID modify txplib_misc.php, it’s normal that it shows up as modified on the diagnostics tab.

You don’t have to worry about it. It throws out the notification, because you did modify the file. It would be odd if it didn’t nag about it ;)
Edit. I should check for new replies after reading the posts…

Re: Mail() function not working
Just contacted the hosting company, it’s this version of Linux:
CentOS release 5 (Final)(i386)
And for the MTA here’s what thay said:
All domains with email enabled, including those on Windows plans are hosted on our Linux based email servers. These servers use qmail as their MTA. Note that each domain may end up on a different mail server, even for the same account type. This finer grained provisioning allows us to spread the load better
hope that helps
Thanks Gocom, sorry to bother you with this problem on rah_comment_spam plugin, but it was really strange also, when I deleted the plugin comments were working on that web site (the latin one here), after instaling it again they stoped working. Now, after this change, they work with plugin installed

Re: Mail() function not working
Today i created four different users – two with gmail email addresses and two with non gmail email addresses.
When i login as any of the two users with GMAIL addresses and change my password i don’t RECEIVE an email notification with the new password.
BUT when i do the same with the other two users using non-gmail address both users receive email notifications.
NOTE all four users receive the PRIMARY first email notifying them that they have been created and their login password.
Why no email when they change their password. has this “gmail bug” not been addressed in Textpattern CMS · 4.5.1?

Re: Mail() function not working
Which Gmail bug are you referring to? We do not treat any mail host different.

This issue is about qmail. This is not related to gmail at all.

oops. sorry.
But in any event there is something about gmail that is not working. When a user with a Gmail email address changes their password they DO NOT receive the new changed password

I do from my server to my gmail account, although gmail does throw a warning that the message “may not have been sent” from the given sender. Perhaps with some accounts that’s enough to tip it into the ether and not deliver it? (which is the reason I loathe forced spam detection at the server level: it’s not a service, it’s a disservice!)
But I have had it before — not just with gmail but from some hosts — that new registration emails and/or password changes don’t come through. Have never got to the bottom of it but I suspect it’s server related rather than either Textpattern or gmail specifically. Could be wrong.

Re: Mail() function not working
Is it just one gmail addressee with the problem or are there multiple ones?
Would you like to make me (joebaich@gmail.com) a no privileges user just to check that it is a Gmail issue as opposed to a specific Gmail user issue.
You can also try opening up the Gmail account in a browser and searching on http://theproblemdomainname.com/textpattern/index.php to see if the messages have been hidden away someplace.
