    Probably you server is not supporting sendmail. Or the e-mail address assigned to zenphoto is not being allowed.

    I tried this:
    *********************
    <?php

    // compose message
    $message = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.";
    $message .= " Nam iaculis pede ac quam. Etiam placerat suscipit nulla.";
    $message .= " Maecenas id mauris eget tortor facilisis egestas.";
    $message .= " Praesent ac augue sed enim aliquam auctor. Ut dignissim ultricies est.";
    $message .= " Pellentesque convallis tempor tortor. Nullam nec purus.";

    // make sure each line doesn't exceed 70 characters
    $message = wordwrap($message, 70);

    // send email
    mail('me@mydomain.com', 'Nonsensical Latin', $message);
    ?>
    ********************

    It works..
    I tried with a different site admin email (the one @mydomain) it does not work either...

    Any other ideas on how to check both of theses?

    Thanks!!

    You have enabled one of our two mail plugins and configured it properly as well?
  • kakoo Member
    Yes I enabled zenphoto_sendmail v1.3.1. However I don't see it under Option -> Plugins.. should it be there? If not, how do I configure it properly?
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    The sendmail plugin does not have any options actually (my fault but I can't remember everything).

    Your admin account needs a vaild email address.
  • kakoo Member
    It has a valid email address. I tried both my hotmail address and my own host provided address @mydomain.com).

    Isn't there a log somewhere I can check?

    Duh -

    I put my email address under my Master user account and it started working.

    I thought that the place to put my email was under Options -> General -> Site Email.

    IT WORKS NOW THANKS!!!!!

    The doc on on site email clearly says:
    This email address will be used as the From address for all mails sent by Zenphoto.

    So the admin email is needed to actually get emails.
