Hi
I need some help with understanding how this works.
GL now uses Pear, it is possible, if Pear is not installed, that GL uses "own" Pear files. This is stated in config.php. (default is $_CONF['have_pear'] = false;
I know that my ISP switched off PHP mail(). Is it possible that 'smtp' option also doesn't work? Can I check the PEAR configuration?
On the other hand when I e.g. log into my account (SSH) I can send mails from the server with PINE.
Sorry for a silly question but if someone would explain this to me I'd be much obliged.

No, I'm confident the SMTP features work. First a clarification. What you set $_CONF['have_pear'] to depends on your setup. If your host installed PHP with PEAR (the default) then you simply need to confirm that the PEAR directory is in the include_path of php.ini. To test this out on a linux host simptly type "pear config-show" and if you get output showing the PEAR configuration then you are OK. If you get something like "no such file or directory" then odds are PEAR wasn't installed. If the pear command gives you the configuration output then set $_CONF['have_pear'] = true. If either of those turn out to be not true (or you are unsure) then you should set $_CONF['have_pear'] to false and grab the appropriate PEAR files down and include them in your Geeklog installation.
After you have all that, you should be able to set the SMTP options for PEAR::Mail in config.php and have it work.
The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

I'm back 
I tried pear config-show
got this
bash: pear: command not found
Then after setting pear 2 true in config.php
got this
Warning: com_mail(Mail.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /amerykanistyka/lib-common.php on line 3189

I corrected paths (written full paths) in lines 3189 and 3190
got this
I enabled custom_mail in lib-custom.php
got this
I disabled custom_mail in lib-custom.php, tried to send mail got nothing I sat down and howl.
Does the above make any sense? There is no sign of errors in error.log
