# PHP problem — comments being mailed?

 * Hi all-
 * My WordPress install is set up to send me an e-mail whenever a new comment is
   posted on a post; however, some services on my host server (including e-mail)
   went down this morning and when we brought them back up, this feature no longer
   worked. E-mail in general is working, but WordPress-generated messages don’t 
   go through.
 * I am having a similar problem with automatically-generated e-mails from PHPBB
   on the same server, so I am assuming the problem is with PHP. However, my host
   doesn’t really support PHP issues, so I need to figure out at least the outlines
   of the problem myself. Unfortunately, I’m kind of a dummy about it. Does anyone
   know what PHP modules WordPress uses for to generate its automatic mail messages?
   That would get me started, anyway. Thanks in advance!

 * No modules. It uses the built in mail functions.
