Hello All!

I'm having problems with SMTP mail:

It works via users.php and profiles.php, but auto-generated emails for new registration or forgotten passwords does not result in a received email, even though the site says it is successful. It does however generate the error in the error log, which has also been posted in the discussions:

Again, there's a lot of discussion on this topic, but nothing seems to ameliorate the problem.

I have hosting with 1and1.com and it seems that SMTP is the only way to go with them.

I'm also running GL on DixieSystems hosting, but $_CONF['mail_settings'] is set as "mail" so I don't have this problem there. Just to test, I set it to "smtp", and got the same errors as I'm getting with 1and1 hosting.

Both are running GL 1.3.9, and "safe_mode" is "off" in both.
1and1 php version is 4.2.3.

On 1and1, I tried "$_CONF['have_pear'] = true", which resulted in error -- can't find Socket.php, and I couldn't find it either:



Changing 'auth' parameter to "true" did nothing...

Here's the snippet, which, as I said before works in user.php and profiles.php but does not generate automated email for new registrations and lost passwords. I didn't try other email functionalities, such sending email to all users....


Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

I guess I didn't try everything...

I changed lib-common.php, and hardcoded return email address:

function COM_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $from = 'gltest@mydomain.com', $html = false, $priority = 0 )

It now works with new user registration and forgotten passwords, and does not affect the return address of emails sent from users.php or profiles.php. Will test out others.

Any thoughts are welcome!
