website email

I have tried 3 different smtp email services to work with joomla and phpbb, cox.net, gmail and smtp2go.

I cant get joomla or phpbb3 to email when a new user registers to the site. Is there something I am missing? I have followed very closely tutorials on how to setup each site's email settings. smtp2go seems to be the easiest and mos user friendly and I follow the settings tutorial and still the site wont send email... can you help?

nlkc:

you should use the php mail() function to send email from your applications, external smtp servers are not supported unless they are mail gateways working on http(s)
