When trying to reset a password in easysocial I get the error above.
Hey Rowan,

This error message is often caused by incorrect e-mail settings in your Joomla Global Configuration section. There is also another cause which is the email address used is invalid. Does other email notification works on the site?

Hey Rowan,

Which account are you trying to reset? Can you please provide the username / email address of the user account? I will try this out.

Mark it does it clearly says "could not initiate email" on your screenshot.
The email is not sent even though the message says it is.
It is only this area that has a problem.

Hey Rowan,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

It seem like these email address is not valid which you set it from backend > Easysocial > settings > general > emails tab > Sender e-mail address - info@spanisharks.com

You can check my first screenshot which I trying to send a test email to this email account (info@spanisharks.com), but it I received back mail server response :
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

info@spanisharks.com


Then I switch to use website@spanishmarks.com email address instead. It should work perfectly now.

Can you give it a check now?
