Details about the Question
The User Registration page shows the following error message at the top of the page: "Unable to send the confirmation email". The user found the following relevant error in the log file:

Answer
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".
