I am running WordPress on a Ubuntu VPS.
I couldn’t get emails to send using the PHP mail function and completely gave up and started using a plugin called WP Mail SMTP.
The test emails using the WP Mail SMTP all get delivered. The problem is new user activation emails don’t get delivered. Even if I go into the dashboard and find the user under “pending” and click “email” they still don’t get the email.
Now, when I go into the backend and click “generate password” that email gets delivered.
So…
WP Mail SMTP Plugin Test email = delivered
New user registrations = not delivered
New user re-send email = not delivered
Generated password for existing user = delivered
