[Solved]Mail Issue

[Scissors]

(This is kinda solved, the problem was not fixed but was worked around)

I am getting this error:

"Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 233
File : emailer.php"

I'm fairly certain it's a configuration issue but I have no clue where to start. Can anyone help out? I am using the integrated mail feature, not smtp, and I opened up port 25 as well. (I'm assuming that's what it's using)

I own the server that i'm running the site from, so any changes / adds I will have to make myself.

Port 25 is used by smtp, why not use smtp

Can you give an url, and is there a phpinfo.php ??

[Scissors]

I have no objections to smtp, however all I have setup before is Exchange, and to be honest I don't want to mess with it again <img> Resource hog.

You can use the smtp of your internet connection provider if you have.
Or you can install a mail server, no need for exchange <img>

Is the server a seperate box, or is it your workstation?

[Okki]

i see a difference with my'n

i think you sould set the ''sendmail_path''

[Scissors]

Seperate box, running server 2k3 and IIS. I run a few other apps on it but nothing intensive.

And I usually do the flavor of the month IP So I may end up going the SMTP route after all. Know of any free and easy to install mail servers?

[Scissors]

Tried that, but I think that's for unix only, i'm running on w32

[Okki]

<img> , i have been there also, but then with NT4

No i don't no of a mail server package, i used some copy then.

Here's an interesting follow up then: I had an old phpbb site that had smtp working on it with some crazy account I set up with my DDNS provider. However most of it is gone.

Is that information somewhere in the mysql database? If so would you know where it is? I've been digging but i'm not sure what i'm looking for <img>

[Okki]

The smtp settings, for php to send mail, need to be in the php.ini

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.yourprovider.com
sendmail_from= <a>email@yourprovider.com</a>
smtp_port = 25

then in your IntegraMOD installation i think you can set smtp for localhost

Cool, thanks for your help. I got everything plugged in and it's working.
