I have recently installed and configured version 2.3.4 for my MBA cohort and everything is working great with the exception of the E-mail features. I can't seem to send out any emails whether I use the php or fud mailer. when I use the php mailer I get:

Warning: Failed to Receive in c:\apache\htdocs\columbian\theme\default\email.php on line 243

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\apache\htdocs\columbian\theme\default\email.php:243) in c:\apache\htdocs\columbian\theme\default\email.php on line 728

when I use the fud mailer I get a timeout error.

I am using my service providers smtp address which I know works because I can send emails out from the same machine using a program called procast server.

I have searched the forum and have found a couple of things about replacing the core.inc and email.inc, but I get errors when I replace those files (I can’t find email.inc anyway)

I love the program, but this bug is annoying.

Any ideas?

Much Appreciated,

Mike

As I've explained and demonstrated on IRC this problem is NOT a FUDforum problem, But rather a communication issue between PHP and the smtp server.
Even the simple mail() command fails to send email.

I got it working now...

The problem I found was that the SMTP property in the php.ini file was set to "localhost" instead of my actual service providers smtp host. I changed it and the problem went away.

I would think that the "SMTP Server" field in the "global setting manager" would at least temporarily override the php.ini SMTP settings, but it clearly was not (as indicated by a phpinfo() dump) I think a simple "ini_set" command could accomplish this. What does the "SMTP Server" field in the "global setting manager" affect? (I will probably look at the code myself, but I thought I would at least let you know what the solution to my problem was since you were so helpful on the IRC)

Cheers!
