Warning, we get so many email support requests – there are many, many, _many_ ways to screw up your SMTP settings so that email doesn’t work. I recommend you strictly follow our email troubleshooting document in the howto section here.

Worst case scenario, buy a $99 install from us and we’ll set it up for you guaranteed to work, including a Mandrill reseller code that gives you an email account worth well in excess of $99..
