Answer 1

This problem was due to incorrect mail parameter settings. The following two parameters were incorrectly set to be:

mail.smtp.auth=Yes
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=Yes

The correct value should be "True" or "False".

I've got a very similar problem for Q2A v. 1.5.4:

Could not send email confirmation

Stack trace:

  require() /home/xxx/qa/index.php:31
  require() /home/xxx/qa/qa-include/qa-index.php:163
  qa_get_request_content() /home/xxx/qa/qa-include/qa-page.php:755
  ...
  qa_send_new_confirm() /home/xxx/qa/qa-include/qa-page-confirm.php:50

Could tell me a bit more precisely where do I have to set the parameters

  mail.smtp.auth=True
  mail.smtp.starttls.enable=True

I'm grateful in advance.

I see that many people are having trouble with this. Many servers will require you to have an email set up that is the same as the email that you are setting as the reply email. For example I had to set an email on my bluehost account no-reply@mydomain.com, as soon as I did that it worked like a charm.
