    XF 1.1 email confirmation not working...no email...

    getting close i think. if i use the default, check box with -f, i need to run the sendmail server service because the default checkbox uses the php mail sw, and that uses sendmail. i'll report what i find tomorrow. i need to edit php.ini as well. thanks for the help.
