email activation not working
not sending any email to activate account with phpmail or smtp setting
can u please guide
 
phpmail unsuccessful your host does not support;
As smtp I do not know, I tested without success, the reason must be that the smtp address ip and smtp account does not contain an @ symbol.
 
You need to properly set SMTP or sendmail (php mail) in your server.

My server people say php mail is up and running (and mail was working with 3.0.0) and I know nothing of SMTP.

From a service point of view really only option is to close my site until I get get back to 2. whatever - as people are trying to join and cannot. Pity, it looked so good.

Site is now gone!

Nothing has been changed in 3.0.1 or 3.0.2 regarding how emails are sent. Basically you have two options to send emails: PHP mail() function and SMTP, both of them use PHPMailer. Why is not working now and it was working then? Well, php mail() is not reliable at all and maybe you are blacklisted or just being delivered directly to spam.

Rely on php mail() is a really bad idea since it will most likely delivered as spam and is not suitable for production environments (in other words, real websites don't use php mail()). SMTP in the other hand is a protocol that most of the time delivers correctly the emails and is available on almost every host, even shared host have SMTP. Depending on how hot is your IP is most likely that your emails will be sent to the inbox rather than the spam folder.

Refer to your host documentation on SMTP and then go to your dashboard > settings > email settings and enable SMTP.
 
The fix - in WHM go to Restrict outgoing SMTP to root, exim, and mailman (FKA SMTP Tweak) and set to default. Works!

Why worked on 3.0.0 - no idea! Thanks Rodolfo.
