Update:

SMTP would not send verification email untill manually run /usr/... .../ow_cron/run.php ,although the registration page showed "verification email sent successfully".

I have checked apache error_log and got this error"bad address :file permissions deny server access"(maybe this log error is not valuable as it only occurred when mod_pagespeed is turned on)

Anyone help please?

why do you use smtp if you have cron?

Hi,ross,

I 'm using Gmail,I 'm not sure how different between SMTP and local cron especially in performance overhead,it seems that the email sent from gmail have a lower probability to be treated as spam.

If you have cron, it will be better if you use it than SMTP. Here's the manual on cron configuration: http://docs.oxwall.org/install:cron don't forget to disable SMTP after you configure cron jobs

Thank you ross.

I have created a crontab to run ow_cron,it worked even the SMTP is enabled,email sent from gmail also(just judged by fake email warning from google ).

But it didnt seem to work as SMTP should to be by your description.
