Question Forum send emails to all users when new user registers.

Click on the name of users and you can see it.

I don't know what exactly is the "problem".

Are you saying that, for example, if I registered at your website, all other "registered" users would receive an email informing them of my registration? Is that what you are suggesting? Perhaps all your other "registered" users are, in fact, administrators ?

I have looked at your Kunena configuration report. I would suggest that you enable the Kunena - Kunena plugin .

That is exactly what I am saying....if you were to register on my site...ever single user on my site would receive an email with the following:

Hello administrator,

A new user 'Gregtest', username 'gregtest', has registered at mydomain.com

If I turn off the feature in joomla to send the administrator and email when someone new joins the site I don't think it sends them. But, I don't get the email either. No one does.

No one is a admin on my site except me so that isn't the case so they shouldn't get the mail.

I have tried the plugin both on and off and same thing. I is on now by the way.

Yea on each individual user you can change recieve system email or not but would you want to click on 1000 users and change this?

This makes total, reasonable sense for site administrators to receive such emails but it does not make sense for normal/unprivileged, registered users to receive such emails unless you have modified the access rights, in the backend, to give your registered users elevated privileges to this Joomla feature.

As I have written before on this forum , unlike standalone forum applications (e.g. phpBB) Kunena is not responsible for user registration or for the processes surrounding user registration.

If this is the case then I agree. No-one—except for administrators—should receive these kinds of emails.

According to the official Joomla documentation , the setting Receive System Emails only applies to site administrators. Therefore, it does not matter what setting you're using because they should not receive these kinds of emails ... unless you have changed the default Joomla access level permissions in the backend (see, among other things, Every new user has Administrator rights ).

The normal, default setting for Receive System Emails is "No" (for normal unprivileged users) unless you have changed something; the default value for system administrators is "Yes" (again, unless you have changed something). This setting, notwithstanding, in a standard, well-behaved Joomla installation, it should not really matter what value you have set this to as far as this discussion is concerned. The situation only applies if the user has the setting Receive System Emails = Yes and if that user is an administrator (or has administrator access to the registration component).

If I had more information about your website — unfortunately I am not a moderator on this forum and therefore I do not have access to the confidential information in your configuration report — I might be able to help you more. I'm doing the best I can with the information that you've given.
