Share your URL, is your software in the subfolder or in the root? provide a screenshot of your cron job, do you use SMTP?

Karthik, please provide a screenshot of you cronjob command

Also make sure SMTP is configured properly. You can use gmail for testing purposes: 

following instructions how to set your gmail  account http://support.google.com/...=en&answer=13287 . You will need to use smtp.gmail.com. You can select any type of connections ( whichever you want, either SSL or TLS/STARTTLS).

Karthik, please do the following, disable SMTP and try to invite members without SMTP, seems like the cron path is not correct. 


Do you have access to your server via SSH?

If yes, try to run you cron locally, see tutorial: http://docs.oxwall.org/install:cron

as to the SMTP you should use 587 port not 465. Try again

what is the mail agent you use to receive e-mail?

Yes, I tested it, probably something is wrong with gmail right now. 

Anyway, where do you send invitation? what is the mail agent of recipient?

gmail

This is related to the mail agent you send invitations to. Their mail server defines invitation mail as spam, you will need to contact them to resolve this.
