Hi all,

Can't seem to get the info from vbulletin.com so im really hoping one of you guys would kindly help me. My forum emails are not working at all, according to jelsoft I need to ask my isp to alter the php.ini file. Unfortunately I am on a shared server and my isp has told me that they cannot alter the php.ini file as it would affect everyone else, fair enough.

My isp does want to help me and they are asking me to set vb3.0.7 to force the 'from' address of all emails sent, I understand what they want but dont know which of the vb files I need to edit ?

This is preventing me from launching my site and its really frustrating :disappointed:

Cheers

The vbmail() function might help you, that's used to send email. It's in the functions.php if I recall correctly.

Found it, but god knows what I do with it. Lots of settings to accidentally mess up. Oddly enough, I did not have this problem with my previous server and that server was not much different to the one I have now ?

Thanks for the reply.

I had some weird phpmail problems a while back...and my host couldn't fix it and I ended up using Zach's SMTP hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=67294&highlight=smtp) that made mail working again...
