I have a local site on Drupal 7.21. The problem is it doesn't sent mail after registration. It still sends "lost password" messages, as well as contact form messages.
To debug it I've added a _mail_alter to track messages using dd() and dpm() functions. And added this code to settings.php:
$conf['mail_system'] = array('default-system' => 'DevelMailLog',);
And $message contains no info about registration mail. How can I debug what is going on?
P.S. I don't know if it is important. On REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION tab on config page (admin/config/people/accounts) I selected these option: Visitors can register accounts, but require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account.
Make sure "Notify user when account is activated" is also checked. It's located under the Account activation tab on the Account settings config page (admin/config/people/accounts).
If you're creating users via admin/people/create, there's a similar checkbox you'll need to check.

Problem is:
User registers at the side and gets a registration email with a
confirmation link which can be used. and
Admin gets an email notification of a newly registered user
Admin activates & enables the user
No notification email to the user is sent about his accounts activation
No hints in the logs. Mailserver is working as described. Tests with System emails active for users show no difference in the behavior. Also added true to $return = JFactory::getMailer()->sendMail($data['mailfrom'], $data['fromname'], $data['email'], $emailSubject, $emailBody, true); in registeration.php
Does this feature actually work? Any help in solving this would be much-appreatiated.
Using Joomla 3.9.15 and no external plugins for user-management.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Joomla distinguishes between user activation by link through email or via administration backend. In order to send an email to the user after the activation of the user account one needs to use the link from the email. Activation from the administration backend will not send an email to the user who's account was activated.
The Forgot Password link in our Prestashop 1.7 site is not working. After setting the admin email on the following, we still do not receive any reset password
Shop Parameters > Contact > Stores tab: <set the admin email>
When I try to send a test email using the links below, I receive the test email
Advanced Parameters > Email > Test Your Email Configuration
I am able to receive a test email from the admin email address I set on Shop Parameters. So that means, the email sending is working.
On the Forgot Password page, I entered my email and clicked the Send Reset Link. I checked the Inbox and Spam and did not see any reset link email.
Do you check that you have a mail template for sending forgotten emails in the corresponding language folder?

I'm having the same issue (Prestashop 1.7.2.5) From what I can find, if your email setup is configured as PHP, Password Reset works only occasionally depending on email account you are sending to.
It is better to configure your email setup for SMTP. Due to the high amounts of spam being circulated, most email servers will flag email sent from PHP as potential spam and most times will be blocked and not even sent to the junk folder. The fact that some mail gets through and others just disappear is because Spam traps set thresholds. Depending on the body text, subject line, type of links, etc.
Make sure your theme have mails folder and have password_query mail templates in
corresponding language folder.
Go to Preferences > Customers, and check the value of password reset delay. Make the delay value higher like 360 minutes.
I have a newsletter powered by an laravel application. It lets subscribers select an area and set some filters to receive mail notifications on new housing for sale.
To solve this in an easy way for the user I did not want to use passwords and a long registration process with names etc. Instead, you just get an email, in that email there is an edit link with a secret token:
https://myapp.com/subscribers/42/edit?token=gwoi6n4ginagrpoargp4ar5gp14a
Would this be considered a safe approach?
When a user clicks the link, it is over HTTPS so it is encrypted, but it will still show in the current browsers history..
Will I get flamed for doing this and if so what are some ways to improve it?
with encrypted data in ssl communications yes it's safe. but in my opinion there is some offers:
1-remove token word from the address.
2- this link should not show the user edit page directly. instead sends arguments to a controller and controller redirects user to a new page with a clean link. just save token in the page for authorizing your user.
3- why not to produce longer (just a bit longer!) tokens?
4- for being safer each link should have an expire time. new link will be sent with each newsletter mail.
Is there something similar to the email verifcation feature where a system admin could validate user sign-up/registration requests?
Background: We're building a system with a closed community, where new users can join only if an admin has verified their sing-up data.
Ideally the admin should just receive an email that there's a new registration request and validate the request directly from the email.
The emailVerified column is protected - it can only be updated by the system in response to the target user clicking the link in the validation email.
An admin can not "tick" this field on behalf of another user.
However. From your brief description of the background I would suggest that you want the users to click the link - after all it serves to validate their email address. If you are creating your own app there is nothing to stop you adding your own column to the user model (or preferably a related table) and implement code in your sign up that also checks this extra column. Of course this is more work - but likely not excessive - and you get the desired workflow.
Here is the message that i got when a new user first time login
Your registration process is not yet complete! Please check again your email for further instructions that have just been resent. If you don't find the email, check your spam-box. Make sure that your email account options are not set to immediately delete spam. If that was the case, just try logging in again to receive a new instructions email.
Go to Users->User Manager on the admin side. Click Options in the upper right. You are likely wanting to change "New User Account Activation" to "None". This will allow them login immediately after sign-up without checking their email.
I'm not sure that this will retroactively activate anyone that has already signed up, so if that is an issue, you would want to activate them manually using the User Manager. (You would want to see green checks in the "Enabled" and "Activated" columns for the users to be able to login.
