I hosted a YAF forum through Winhost. When the user registers, he will receive an activation email. That works fine. But when the user clicks the "lost password", and he is supposed to receive an email. But that never happens. I checked the source code, it uses a background thread to send email. Is it because Winhost forbids background thread?
Take a look at these two other posts: http://forum.Winhost.com/showthread.php?t=8675&highlight=background+thread http://forum.Winhost.com/showthread.php?t=8373&highlight=background+thread I'm not sure what is happening, but you should be able to run background threads.
