Hi,
It pretty hard to find out in which circumstances mail() fails to
work.

But you can with mysql override account infos. Do you have phpmyadmin
installed? 
In the user table, from the savannah database, from the user admin,
you should set
        status  A

The account should be working for this user. After, you'll, indeed
need to find out why the mail() did not work.

I do not know how mail() works but it seems to ignore
/etc/aliases. Was address@hidden the admin mail?
