If you are using any WordPress plugins that manipulate email, try disabling them and see if you are able to send out the activation email.
If you are using any email plugins, please list them as well. If not, check if your WordPress install can send any email. You can check by enabling post comment moderation under “Settings > Discussion” and using an anonymous user to post a comment on your blog.
I’m not using any email plugins with WordPress…
Have you checked to see if you are able to send email using what I stated above?
Try going to “Settings > Discussion” and make sure the checkboxes under “Email me whenever” are checked. Next, try posting a blog post comment as a logged-out, anonymous user and see if you receive the email.
Everything looks good – it is set up to send me an email whenever someone posts…I will try the steps you suggest to see if I get an email from an anonymous user.
Looks like wordpress isn’t sending any email at all. What are my next steps to troubleshoot and fix this? It did when I originally installed it.

It’s a fairly common problem.
google: wordpress not sending email
Did that. Came up with a plugin called postman that I’m trying out. It can send me an email (tested it and I got the email). Now I’m trying to send a re-confirm email from buddypress hoping it gets along.
Okay that fixed the problem. Now I have a different problem and will start a new thread. Thanks!
