Please describe your problem. Hello.
I switched to a new server, I was previously using phpbb's internal email mechanism that worked since the old server also hosted the email, I can't use it anymore as I moved the email services to Google workspace and I am getting blocked from sending emails from the new server using the internal mechanism.
I configured postfix to send emails using my ISP (I need it for other things on the server) and told phpbb to use smtp at localhost.
Sending test emails work fine.
I even managed to send a recovery mail to myself once after getting people complaining about it, but after that - no more recovery mails are being sent.
Test mails work fine. Recovery mail - nada.
postfix log shows no attempted connection so this is most likely something on the phpbb side. I see nothing in the admin error log.
Appreciate any help here. Thanks!
