Serendipity Forums

HI,

How guest or visitors can register themselves for the blog so that they can post the message, and there is no need for an adminnistrator for creating the usernames by himself.


Thanks in Advance

Hi,

I found the plugin (in blogs installation) by which does that, but the problem with that plugin is it can only send mails to local domain users only..

Is there any other way of self registring users or is there a way by which blog can send mail to users of different domains...

Thanks

Actually, Serendipity sends mail using the server's built-in mail functions. (Basically, we just call PHP mail() and let the system take it from there.) If it can't send to outside addresses, the server is configured that way, and there's not much we can do about it.

However, many servers are configured to only send mail to local addresses *unless* the sender is a known local address. Serendipity uses a configuration item (Blog Email Address, I believe) to assign a sender to the email. If you've configured this with some auto-forwarding address, the server may not recognize it as a valid local address. Try your main email account on the server.
