I cant use PHPmail to send, so i set it to use my SMTP host.

I put it in, and when i try and register a new user, on submission i get this error:


Invalid STMP return code: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)

This is an SMTP error, meaning that you are trying to send an email from a domain not supported by your mail server or it could be that your mail server has a restriction on the domains you can send email to.
Bottom line, this is NOT a FUDforum error, but rather a STMP configuration issue.

Hello,
the problem u describe has definetly nothing to do with FUD itself. The remote server simply refuses to accept mails from ur server, because its address range mismatches the access control list. This is the case when u use internet provider specific accounts. The only workaround is to use a different account which isn't bound to a specific service.

Fair enough, the other option of course is to use the built in PHP mail of course..

Now i am getting this error, and i know it relates to the configuration of PHP

--------------------
Warning: Unknown error in Z:\hshome\activewe\hellasmirc.com\forum\theme\default\register.php on line 1625
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at Z:\hshome\activewe\hellasmirc.com\forum\theme\default\register.php:1625) in Z:\hshome\activewe\hellasmirc.com\forum\theme\default\register.php on line 1408
--------------------


Since i am on a shared hosting account, i cannot modify the PHP file, is there any way around this?

If looking at my current PHP config will help, here is the stats page for it

http://www.hellasmirc.com/in.php


thanks guys

The error you are seeing is generated by PHP's mail() function. It also appears to encounter an error but does not know what the error is.

In your phpinfo() the SMTP server is specified as 'localhost', which is what PHP's mail() will try to use when sending emails. I am guessing you've tried to use your home(?) smtp server, which declined to send the email because your domain www.hellasmirc.com (?) is not listed as local.

What you need to do is contact your hosting provider and ask them why you cannot use PHP's mail() function to send email. This is clearly a problem they should solve for you. If they do not, you need to find an SMTP server that will allow you to send email.

Maybe they made the same mistake like me: They compiled php as ordinary users and have sendmail in /usr/sbin, so configure cannot find it Wink

It is a windows box, it's mailing system works based on SMTP rather then sendmail, so compile options don't really matter. Plus there is a >80% change they are using pre-compiled binaries.
