Description

After upgrading to 1.9.3 (using CVS), Moodle stopped sending emails from forums. Cron.php is run regularly (by cron), but when invoking it manually (from the browser), it does not report anything like "Sending post {number}: {subject}" as it used to do in the previous versions.

Also, messages sent to Contacts are not being emailed.

I was continuously checking our SMTP server logs but it has not received nor rejected any email from Moodle.

I tried to play with the SMTP server setup (/admin/settings.php?section=mail) but nothing helped.

Finally I downgraded back to 1.9.1 and everything started to work as before the upgrade.

Is this a new feature of Moodle 1.9.3 or have I done something wrong?

What was changed regarding the email functionality in 1.9.3 ?

Edit: I have just tried the 1.9.2 version and it seems to send the emails OK
