[How-To] Send email with php function

I've installed MyBB on my router and wanted to send mass emails but when trying to do so nothing happens. No email is sent, neither thru PHP mail() function nor thru external mail account. What am i doing wrong, what should i install or do to be able to send email notifications about registration or other events. Maybe this is forum engine fault that emails aren't sent to recepients. If someone can, please help :)

nobody compiled the mail function for php yet
so it's not going to work, unless you compile it yourself:)
http://pear.php.net/package/Mail

really need to compile them all I guess... and fix that mysqli causing almoast every 500 server error:(

So i guess sending emails thru diiferent mailserver won't work either. So i can only activate accounts manually?

P.S. Any progress with verlihub, or it can't be done?

Don't know if this will help - but I used it to send emails to myself from the asus

maybe it can be integrated into the existing php function?
