I have recently discovered that new users at my bbpress forum

fail to receive their welcome email with their password.

BBpress version 1.0.2 integrated with WordPress version 2.9.2

I thought it might be the New User Email Setup , http://www.epicalex.com/new-user-email-set-up/ plugin installed in my WP, but deactivating it didn’t fix the issue.

Any tips on where to start looking for a solution would be much appreciated.

I used SMTP mailer for bbPress and the problem was solved.

Or you can use instant password

First thing to check – Does your host allow you to send mails?

In the second section, instead of wp-load.php, do it with bb-load.php and come back with results.
