The first thing I'd check is your site's SMTP settings. These are under "Administration -> Configure site -> Site options -> Email settings". Check that the SMTP account and server listed there are still valid. (Maybe try them out in a desktop email program, or ask your mail admin).
You could also try simply deleting the contents of the "SMTP host" field, which will cause Mahara to fall back to using local sendmail. If emails then go out successfully, that would definitely point to a problem with your SMTP account.

]]>Things I would check are:
1) That the email address of the user is actually a valid email address.
2) That the underlying server's SMTP mail system is set up to send emails correctly
3) you can turn on greater debugging info by editing htdocs/lib/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php and changing public $SMTPDebug = 0; to a higher number (line 306)
