I want to shut down all my mail servers (smtp, pop, imap) on my dedicated server and use only external email accounts like gmail, etc.
When I put all the account infos from my external email account at the mail settings in the config file, it is working as long as I don't stop my smtp server. As soon as I stop it, the mail is not going out anymore.
That this is possible, I can see when I set up the same with Gallery 2. There, the mails go out even when my smtp server is stopped.
How can I achieve the same with Geeklog?

What are your config $_CONF['mail_settings'] settings in regard to this? Is 'backend' => 'smtp' ? Then it should work.

I set it to smpt, here are the settings in my config file:
Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['mail_settings'] = array (
    'backend' => 'smtp', // can be one of 'mail', 'sendmail', 'smtp'

    // sendmail parameters (only needed for 'backend' => 'sendmail')
    //'sendmail_path' => '/usr/bin/sendmail',
    //'sendmail_args' => '',

    // SMTP parameters (only needed for 'backend' => 'smtp')
    'host'     => 'mail.domain.com',
    'port'     => '25',
    'auth'     => false,
    'username' => 'xxxx',
    'password' => 'xxx'
);
 

This is the long header of the test mail using Geeklog:

X-Antiabuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [47 12] / [47 12]
X-Antiabuse: Sender Address Domain - domain.com

kappa.sitelutions.com should be the mail server for both tests.
With looking at the long headers at the mail from Geeklog it is clear why the mails don't go out with the smpt server stopped. But where is the error?
It does not matter if I set "auth" to true or false.

Thank you for any more ideas.

It looks like you may have set your host to smtp.google.com instead of smtp.gmail.com.

Try that and let us know if it works.
