Hi gang, big kudos to Protoss.
At one time I had started a rather long thread regarding some WinNT install problems. Unfortunatley, it disappeared before I was fully done with the fixes included therein, so here's an old problem that needs fresh solving:
Getting the following error message on signup submission and on all other email attempts:
Warning: Failed to Connect in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum_data\include\email.inc on line 153
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum_data\include\email.inc on line 154
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum_data\include\core.inc on line 25
It's an older version of FUD (1.2.4) - if a reinstall of newer is necessary, just say so, but I remember that there was a pretty simple fix to this, just not what specifically it was. Help?
Many thanks in advance!

It would appear that php's internal mail handler cannot connect to your SMTP server. Make sure you got one running, or your php.ini has a working SMTP server specified, to which you can connect.

Yes, the SMTP server is running and is correctly set in php.ini, which also contains a valid sender address.
What's puzzling is that this was working before, and now is not, but nothing changed on my servers except for one small detail that may be the problem.
We've had some problems with relay attempts, so our mail server is set to require 100% smtp authentication on all traffic, local or remote. The mail server unfortunately isn't sophisticated enough in the version we have (Imail 5, a couple versions out of date now) to allow me to mix authentication methods - can't do a mix of IP-based for local and smtp-auth for remote.
Could this be the cause, maybe?

Ah-Ha!
Think I jsut found the problem... Went to the server that is hosting both email and the forum and did a ping of the smtp server by DNS name, which is how it's listed in php.ini. It tried to ping the wrong IP, so looks like I solve that and all will be fine. Thanks for pointing me in the right direcion!
