An explanation of the issue....
Confirmation Emails not being Received
For alot of mail servers to accept an email it must have either a valid Return-Path: or Reply To:
If the Return Path is not valid (most corporate type sendmail configs set Return Path to something like anonymous@server2.hostingcompany.com wich a mail server never answers for) the receving server looks for a Reply To: if this is not a valid email address or simply not added to the email headers the mail server will reject the email as it will fail a basic whitelist check.
The problem PHP-Nuke runs into is even though where all putting valid emails in the admin email address setup box, the Reply-To never gets added to the email headers.
Check it out, this is from 3 different php-nuke sites
