After experiencing the initial problem of a signup confirmation mail not going out, and going through the various posts on that topic, I finally found a fix without having to use a plugin or use pear functions.

In the file /bb-includes/pluggable.php add the following lines at the top:
```
ini_set("SMTP","mail.YourDomain.com"); //IP or server name for smtp server
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'ValidEmailAccount@YourDomain.com');
```
This worked in my case. I hope this solves other people's problems too.

I will try this on my installation instead of the PEAR workaround & let you know if it works.

Thanks

Those ini_set() calls could go in your bb-config.php as well and should work just the same.

Having said that, I think this hack will only work on Windows Servers running IIS. But I'm not 100% sure about that.
