We're having trouble getting Combu to send the registration email. We did the standard installation of Combu on the server, and it's generally working, and I think we've set up the config file correctly:
// User registration settings
define ("REGISTER_EMAIL_REQUIRED", TRUE); // Is Email required for new users?
define ("REGISTER_EMAIL_MULTIPLE", FALSE); // Allow multiple accounts with the same email?
define ("REGISTER_EMAIL_ACTIVATION", TRUE); // Should verify email registration with activation code?
define ("REGISTER_EMAIL_SUBJECT", "Confirm account registration"); // The regitration mail subject (if activation code is required)
define ("REGISTER_EMAIL_MESSAGE", LIBROOT . "/email_register.html"); // Path to the HTML/text file containing the mail message
But messages are not being sent. Presumably we're just missing an obvious step...but can't figure it out. Do we need to do any special mail server setup? The server does have a mail server already set up and working.
thanks

So this was simply a spam filter issue. Any suggestions on how to minimize the chances of the registration email getting caught in a spam filter?
Well, mail spam filters are always a pain and honestly I never found an exact solution for it. But usually it works when I set the sender address with a non-existing mailbox account of the same domain where the mail is outgoing (for example no-reply@skaredcreations.com if I send the email from this domain, "no-reply" does not exist on my mail server).
Some spam filters may also mark your mail as junk if your domain is black-listed or for some text in your mail subject, I would avoid non-readable characters like: []{}()
