Chack the wppa log on failed mail errors.
See Table VIII-C1
jacob, I checked the log
every mail fails with no diagnostic
example, Err: on:29.03.2018 14:38:38: robwin68: Mail sending failed. [email protected], subject=[Sun City Center Photography Club Members Pages] New photo uploaded: 02-02.jpg, message=New photo uploaded: 02-02.jpgNew photo uploaded: 02-02.jpgUser robwin68 uploaded photo 13 into album Madlyn BlomDetails: Manage photoThe visitors email address is: [email protected] message is automatically generated at http://robertwinch.com/wordpress. It is useless to respond to it.
any suggestions were to look next

This means that you configured wppa correctly.
What i read in th wp_mail() function description ( https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/wp_mail/ ):
For this function to work, the settings SMTP and smtp_port (default: 25) need to be set in your php.ini file.
and
Having spent nearly a day banging my head against this one, I would strongly recommend that the doc for wp_mail() include the tip that many servers will require that a mail user account be created with the email address of [email protected] before this function will work. I would have NEVER figured that one out without many hours of google searches.
Maybe this helps you…
Sorry for not getting back to thank you sooner. but I am still having issues. It seems that some mail calls work from photo gallery and others don’t. in particular I am trying to get comments to email the uploader when a comment is made.
This doesn’t work.. I see from my diagnostic tool the following
mail() wp-photo-album-plus/wppa-comment-admin.php
In a list of processes and their mail function
I am not a programmer and i suppose a little knowledge gets me in trouble. but is it possible that the Comments mailing function is calling Mail() instead of WP-Mail()
Jacob,
I finally got it to work
after a lot of trial and error, I found out the email was being sent from noreply@ mydomain address. So I simply added an email account for noreply@mydomain
and suddenly everything worked…
Many thanks for your hours of persaverence.
Robert
