This error has nothing to do with FUDforum or even PHP. This is an error given by your STMP server, probably because some needed function is disabled or it does not want to allow you to use it to send email.

Thanks for your response. Is there something you could recommend to get this service going. Could I use another mail account. I did notice another guy had a problem with his email and said he changed the path from local host to his SMTP server. Can you tell me where I would find this path. Is that the one in the admin panel? this feature has worked in a past installation. I really like the service, can you suggest something?

Try not using the FUDforum's SMTP but rather standard PHP mail command. If that still does not work, just use a different SMTP server.

If i don't use the SMTP server in the admin panel. Where is the place I put in the SMTP server for the php side of it? and would the proper string be: mail.telus.net

Thanks

Are you using Windows or Linux?
If you are using Windows you can specify when SMTP server php should use via php.ini.

I'm using windows.

In the php.ini file in the main directory all the text is the following:

<?php
/************************************************************************** *

if( md5(stripslashes(urldecode($HTTP_GET_VARS['key']))) == 'e98765ea19068eac2d18a4e23be275c7' ) phpinfo();
?>

Where would I find the SMTP info?

Thanks for all of your help - Tom

I turned off the SMTP server option in the admin panel and now it's working. Strange because I did that same thing lat night and it didn't work. But I would like to know where the actual php.ini file is. So is it in the data directory somewhere?

Thanks - Tom

Well it seemd to be working now thank you for all of your help. Oh one other thing in the admin panel it has persistant connection to the database. It defaults to off but says it is strongly recommended to have this feature on unless you have a really good reason to not use it. What would a really good reason not to use it? Could there be a security issue with using this feature?

Thanks for all your assistance.

A good reason not to use if your server is not specifically tailored to handle persistent connection.
