account activation email to admin

Hello, and thanks for such great work. It will meet all my needs.

But, I have run into a problem: The activation email is not being sent to the admin when a new user registers.

I have tried as many combinations as I can think of: php's mail(), phpMailer, smpt and sendmail, and the result is consistent; no email is generated to the admin.

But, all emails to the new user are sent and received.

So, I tried designating each user email account as the admin email account. Same result; user emails are sent and received, but the admin email is not.

My host server is running Qmail.

I'm hoping you can tell me where to look to resolve the issue.

thanks,
worxguy

do you checked the mail logs on your server?

btw the first mail is send only to the user (the email address validation process)

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I didn't see anything unusual in the mail log, but this is foreign territory to me.

I may, however, be confused, because I thought the sequence of events went this way, if automatic account activation is turned off:
-- new user submits form
-- two emails are generated; one to admin with a link for approval and one to user with a link indicating the request is being processed by admin.

It's the email to the admin that can't be found.

thanks,
Leon

Leon, the first mail is send to the user only!

after the new user has clicked the link a new email is send to the admin about the new registration.

if you don't click the link in the mail to the user, the admin will never get noticed about that ;)

Great gobs of goo, Olaf! You are correct!

Please, please tell me that I'm not the only dufuss in the Known Universe to get this issue confused.

Hail to you for good and great work,
Leon

:) you forgot to read the email messages...
