    Hi All

    We have a brand new install

    When a new user creates a blog we get the email to check the email address but we aren't get the next with the password for the user we have to use the forgotten password function retive it.

    Any ideas as to fix this?

    You may want to review the debugging list linked to from the readme included with your download as I believe it's discussed in there. (ie check the mail server's error logs to see what happened to the email.)

    I had the same issue, I don't really know what I am doing but I opened wp-includes --> wpmu-functions.php and I changed all of the instances of "support@" to the email I used for the administrator which is "admin@" and now the signup emails work fine. I get my first confirmation email and then my password email.

    I have that issue... problem is, my installation of wordpress is on a free server, and they don't provide email addresses, and i don't see anywhere to specify what email settings to use for POP3, IMAP, or SMTP... it just has a place to specify the email address.
