    I'm getting the following message upon completion of the signup form:

    WARNING: There was an error sending the email message in line 1337 of file common.inc.php

    Any idea what this means and what I need to do to correct things?

    Thanks!

    Usually...

    I get that like once every 2 weeks. Amember is automatically sending out mail and the email domain doesn't exist. Usually a member had a typo in their email address.

    I often see @!yahoo.com or @@hotmail.com. If check the timestamp against your bounced mail, you'll see they match up.

    Thanks for the info. However I got this when I was testing my new site. It was the very first signup and I used a correct email address.

    Why is amember automatically sending out mail?

    Could be a bug or a conflict with your server, suggest you send in a tech support ticket to get it fixed.

    I'm getting the exact same error. I, too, am setting up my system for the first time and testing with my account and valid email address. Renee, I would love to hear if you resolve this issue...

    trevan,

    This is typically caused by a failing request to PHP mail().. make sure your host has support for PHP mail() (or that you have enabled it in whatever platform you are using).. an alternative is to switch your configuration to sendmail or SMTP based mail in admin.

    I am getting the same error, I put in a request. I have SMTP server set up, the 'test' works. I get that error sending mail through Amember 'Actions' tab and also activating accounts. The user emails are correct (they are current customers of ours). I'll post what it was if they figure it out.

    Depending on your configuration, another culprit is not having your PHP.INI filled out completely. Specifically check for a sendmail_from section in your core PHP.INI or as an override in a localized.

    Code:
    [mail function]
    SMTP = localhost
    smtp_port = 25
    sendmail_from = skippybosco@mydomain.com
