It seems I can't receive automated e-mails coming from the script (registration, ad placing notifications, etc), why is this ?

There some possible solutions for this issue, some of them are listed below.

The email account you use can reject email messages for some reason, try to use 2-3 alternative email addresses to make sure the problem exists for them all.

If you still can't receive any messages, it seems PHP mail() function is not working properly at your server, now you can check the following :

1/ If this is a fresh PHP installation, php.ini file should be configured properly for php mail() function to work, i.e. on Windows platform SMTP server has to be specified in php.ini.

2/ Your server can be configured to prevent "nobody" user (under which Apache runs) from sending out e-mails. This will cause any automated e-mails coming from script to bounce. The solution is to allow "nobody" to send mail, please talk to your host admin regarding this.

You can create sample PHP script which uses mail() function for test email sending and when it will work, you should be able to receive email from our script as well.
