I am having similar issues on a fresh install of 04.03.02 on shared hosting at WebSecureStores. I get the SMTP test and newsletters sent to an entered address. But no registration, password reminder, or status change emails. My Log viewer is showing Password Sent Success entries and no Faliure entries.

I checked the Admin >Authentication page and see that Email Domain is not set to an exact match of my domain. (The help says to leave Blank) But I can not edit it because of an error:
The default authentication provider specified in web.config is not configured properly. Authentication settings are disabled.

Now I can't find a solution to this web.config error either. Any suggestions?
