hmmm my turn please Smile

. I'm stuck on this same thing, (same with 500 bagillion people.) I just got desknow, and I got that all set up, I can send mail through it from where I want to send mail from, and it works. How do I configure PHP Nuke to work through DeskNow? Thanks for the help.

This could be a nice tutorial. I'd appreciate it if you would post it here if you have time.

Thanks alot, as soon as Mr. Anderson and I contact each other, I'll be more then happy to make a tutorial on how to do this. And I'm sure that if I figure out how to do this, then I'll be able to write more about other programs too.... Thank again.

Personally I prefer doing it right. Confirmation emails seemed pointless to me at first. But you'd be surprised how many people make BS accounts with fake emails and spam your forums. But you may not have that problem.

RAVEN: Sure I'll post it tomorrow, i'm pretty busy tonight. But you have helped me alot in the past, the least I can do is try to give back some. I'll create a new post tomorrow.

Raven,

I was just rereading this post and I realized I completely forgot about writing that tutorial. Would you still like me to do that? If so, i'll work on it over the next day or two and post it. Sorry.

Absolutely! It would be a great addition to our archives Smile

Alrighty, i'll start on it ASAP.

I FIXED IT!!! I run a desknow mail server. After you said that my ISP was the problem I decided to set up my mail server for smtp relay. However it also requires authentication. So I contacted the maker of desknow and asked how to get it to relay smtp. They told me, I set it up... ITS WORKING. lol. Thank you for all your help and patience. Its greatly appreciated.

I wonder if it would help that when you find the fix, you post the fix here?

I know this is YEAAAAAAARS old but i found this thread through google and this forum is too huge to know where to post..

my host just enabled some bs php auth so now everytime someone signs up to my website they don't get any emails or anything and the host won't help me AT ALL.

how do i set up my phpnuke to use SMTP to send out the registration emails when someone signs up?

my website is http://www.terrafirmaclan.com and phpnuke is v7.9

I could ask you several questions and play 'posting' tag, but if you Google for php send email with SMTP and not mail() function you should get your answer. If none work then you may need to set up your own mail server.

But my client has always auto sent emails from a gmail address stipulated in phpnuke.

so now it doesn't work at all.. USELESS HOST WON'T HELP

i've seen this code everywhere, but am i making a new file? or editing an existing file or what? the host pointed me to this: http://codewalkers.com/seecode/538.html

like i knew wtf i was doing..

PLEASE HELP MY WEBSITE IS USELESS

pan,

We don't know what else to tell you. Everything that we know about the issue has been posted here. This would seem to be an issue that you will need to work out with your host. if they have implemented a security scheme then we would imagine it is affecting more than just you so they should be able to advise you on your localized, specific, issue.

Is there an already existing file in phpnuke that i can just edit or replace or something so it uses SMTP..?

i just setup an auto installation i don't know how to code or whatever Mad

Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 4:32 am

I managed to use my ISP as the mail server.

i eventually changed hosts to someone who supported it Smile

BTW, we have recognized that this is becoming more and more of a systemic "problem" with hosts locking down the PHP mail() function. The RavenNuke Team is going to include an SMTP option in the next release (2.20.00).

Hmm, I think you posted in the wrong forum completely.

What are you looking for exactly?
