I have member registration working but the self-activation isn’t sending the e-mails to the users once they sign up.
In the Admin › Members and Groups › Membership Preferences i have the Require Member Account Activation? set to self-activation but it’s still not sending the e-mail.
Any advise on how to resolve this so that i don’t have to manually active each user?

What version and build are you on? Does email work fine, otherwise? When you use the “communicate” tab, can you send mail normally?

I have Expression Engine 1.6.3 and yes my e-mail work fine through the communicate tab.

My first bet would be a spam trap. Do you have values in the first two fields under ‘Admin- System Prefs- Email’? And- do you have an email you can send to via communicate that you know gets through- that you can use for testing the sign-up. See if it gets through with that addy?
And an upgrade wouldn’t hurt to blow out the dust. Though my money is still on it being filtered.

Yes i have values in the first two files under the Admin- System Prefs- Email. And i’ve tryed sending e-mails through communicate and it goes through just fine.

No chance it’s being caught in a spam filter? And they are being signed up as ‘pending’ correct? Just- no email getting through? If you like, send me a link and I’ll try signing up, see what happens. Also- any extensions currently installed?

No there not in the spam filter. And yes the users are marked as pending but no e-mail is being received.
I do have extensions installed but i don’t think there interfering.

Since I was already in the cp on the comment thread, took a closer look at email. You didn’t have a valid return email addy- had a . instead of an @. I changed it- then signed up in a different browser- email came through fine that time.
Run a few test emails through it- but as far as I can see, it should be fine now. Let us know if you run into trouble- or if it tests out ok. I suspect it will.
