When you create a new blog site, you’ll need to set up the email configuration in order for the email function to work within the site. If it isn’t set up, users won’t be able to do things that require email functionality, such as resetting their password – which is done via email.
Instructions for email setup
1) Go to your blog site and log in as admin.
2) On the left hand menu, click on Settings > Email.
3) In the “From” section, fill in your Email and Name.
4) In the “Mailer” section, choose “Send all WordPress mails via SMTP.”
5) In the “SMTP Options” section, use “smtp.ucmerced.edu” for host and “25″ for port, and “No encryption.”
