Does Ordinary WordPress email work?
Some wordpress hosting requires an extra plugin to get email working, such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
I am having the exact same issue as dbaden. Please advise.
I did not know I had to set up email. I figured the website email I have would work. I installed the plugin you suggested but that is not working when I do a test. I called my hosting comp and they said I set it up correctly.. I don’t have any idea why the site won’t send an email out.
Have you tested with the testing feature of wp-mail-smtp at the bottom of the settings screen?
If you send an email to yourself it logs the whole process, successful or otherwise. That should give a clue as to where the problem is.
If the log shows it was sent successfully did it go to a spam or trash folder?
That log could be a bit too long to post here but it could be linked to…
This seems to be a wordpress rather than buddypress issue so it might be an idea to ask on the wordpress.org forums or elsewhere such as http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
What web/email hosting do you use?
Not that I would necessarily know one from another – but someone else might!
Another thing occured to me – a plugin could have over-ridden the default settings.
You could try the wp-mail-smtp test with all the plugins disabled and/or list the plugins here.
The theme you are using might be an issue….

I am using blue host. They looked at the code and said everything is fine on their end. I also did the testing but it is not working. I get info like this..
SMTP server error: Temporary local problem – please try later
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:250 OK
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:451 Temporary local problem – please try later

Well a quick google on gives this interpretation of the numbers: http://email.about.com/cs/standards/a/smtp_error_code_2.htm
250 is successful
451 is the problem….
