After migration, no email sent for new member registrations

[TCWT]

My board is on 3.3.4. Emails for new PMs and PM replies are sent but none for new member registrations. I have tested by using a few email addresses.

Is there a different email setting for new registration emails?

I only ask this because I have been guilty myself.... but did you check the Spam folder? 😄

[TCWT]

Yes.

It seems the email was never sent as it does not show up in "Track Delivery" in Cpanel. The emails for new PM does show up there though.

In the setting under Security and Privacy > New registration email validation

I changed it from Admin Validation to User then Admin Validation and the emails are sent out to new members. This is strange, it would always send an email when it was previously set to Admin Validation on my old host.

Are you saying this fixed it?

Linguistically this makes sense. First the User validates (via email), and then the Admin validates.

Not really a fix but workaround. The new member always receives an email regardless of which setting previously.

Version 3 has not been supported for some time so I would recommend upgrading to version 4. This not only should solve your email issue but solve a plethora of potential security issues which would be in a software product that is not supported.
