Email is not being recieved when a question is answered

Question

Hi, I am the administrator of my website where I have installed the old version of Q2A.

I have checked the option - "To receive Email whenver a question is asked", but I do not receive the email.

Moreover whenever a question is asked the user doesnt recieves the amil that the question is answered.

Please can you tell me whats could be the problem.

Thanks

Could be any number of things but probably your mail on your server is not working properly. First try a simply script using the PHP mail() function - http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php - if that doesn't work then it's a server problem.

Try contacting your host, particularly if you have shared hosting, they will likely help you sort it out. If you have a dedicated server you can install sendmail/postfix which worked for me.
