Mail alerts meaning your main email address in the control panel?

Sorry. Private Message and topic alerts aren't working.

I'm just trying to read through the FAQ's and previous topics to see if my question is already answered prior to asking. You know... trying to do what I get mad at people for not doing.

I can send things from the command line just fine, so I know smtp is working on some level.

I checked in the conf file and SMTP is indeed set to localhost (as it should be). As I said, it was working. So, I don't know what I messed up.

Okay I just tried to register at your site using the URL in your signature.
No email confirmation sent.

Possibly the Mail mx records have not updated yet. But also some servers require the main email address be native to the site.
Like webmaster@bmwsporttouring.com not webmaster@hotmail.com

Control Panel » Primary Settings-General
Board Email Address:
All emails being sent out will come from this address.
