l tried looking into the issue again today l still couldnt get things to send but l found the corresponding entry in the logs.
Code:
2008-06-11 21:49:41 1K6XGH-0005IE-KC <= user@srv.example.com U=animeotk P=local S=1121 id=20080611204941.a2a286916353@example.com
2008-06-11 21:49:42 1K6XGH-0005IE-KC => stoner <stoner@example.com> R=virtual_boxtrapper_user T=virtual_boxtrapper_userdelivery
2008-06-11 21:49:42 1K6XGH-0005IE-KC Completed
nothing arrived in my email, and the SMTP settings for some reason have messed up when trying to use the non phpmail method.
(note lve removed the actual domain as the sites content is adult and lm not sure it would be allowed to be linked from here)
also l would VERY much like to hear of some options l could use with Cpanel that will help block spam (as you can see from here l used boxtrapper).. as long as the systems allowed for mail varification before delivery (such as link clciking etc) a bonus would be allowing for customisation of templates used etc of emails sent out to verify emails.
