Sorry, this is a support request, not a bug report. I'm going to close this and publish it in the community groups.

Replying to chispoteado:

A fresh 1.6 install can't send invite friends mail from profile. I'm using the default installation plugin and I can't find if I have to configure it someway somewhere..

It appears to work fine. Show me a success message, but no mail is sent out. I've tried with several mail addresses.

Other system mails work normally.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Sorry again, I was a bit confused with the difference between a bug report and a support request. Now I'm shure that it is a bug report. So I'm attaching a Diagnostics report from my clean installation of Elgg 1.6.

You were correct in closing this. This is a support request as this isn't a bug in Elgg Core. I've confirmed invitefriends is still working in 1.6. You'll have to configure PHP and a mail server separately in order to have Elgg send email. The community site and the docs have more information about this.

Mod that shipped with 1.6.1 indeed breaks if you list more than one address. The code currently effectively glues all addresses together, making one invalid address.

The trivial fix is to replace lines 18,19:

$emails = str_replace("\n","",$emails);
$emails = explode("\n",$emails);

With:

$emails = preg_split('/\\s+/', $emails, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
