Howto: Enable SMTP for vB 3.0.2/3

[deb0]

Well, Here is what I have tried and the error below it:


user@domain.com;


Parse error: parse error, unexpected '@', expecting ',' or ';' in H:\hshome\wiltechs\basementreview.com\forums\inclu des\mail.php on line 97

"user@domain.com" or 'user@domain.com';

SMTP: localhost
sendmail_from: me@localhost.com
sendmail_path: None

The mailing function returned an error while trying to send the mail.
Check your mail server to ensure it is configured correctly to allow PHP to send mail from it. You should also check your mail server's error log for more diagnostic information.

This is really frustrating, been working on this all dayum day

[rake]

put it between single quotes.

[deb0]

look at what I entered before, I tried it without, with, and with double quotes.

Thx for the help anyway. Guess I will have to find another way, as I have followed this thread to the letter, and it doesn't work still.

If it says and error was returned, then you SMTP server either requires authentication or you did not put in the username and/or password correctly.

[deb0]

the account I am using, I use everyday. I can login and pop on this account all day long. As mentioned on previous postes, I have tried many ways to specify the account.

Any examples ot suggestions, I will gladly try

For the SMTP does your server require the @domain.com to work?

You need an @domain but not @domain.com depending.

Well....I'm getting the

2 - Illuvatar .... Emailing
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: errormessage() in /home/warofthe/public_html/forums/vbulletin225/upload/includes/mail.php on line 235

and here is the code as in my mail.php
var $smtpHost = "209.50.253.101";
var $smtpPort = 25;
var $smtpUser = 'illuvatar@warofthering.net';
var $smtpPass = '*******'; (pass is really there) hehe
var $smtpSocket = null;

Now....I can use either our IP Addy or 'warofthering.net' for my POP and SMTP servers in outlook, and when I check with Servint, they said best just to use IP addy....

Well...I've tried both....used double quotes on everything instead of single, and no matter what I try, it hangs for a minute or so and then it kicks me back the error above.

Now..I know that this hack is unsupported...but...a couple of folks seem to have been able to make it work. I've tried just about everything in this thread, and it don't wanna work.*sniff* Can anybody help me?

I offer no support, enabling SMTP will be considered hacking, thus why it is here.

Thanks to Chris on the vB team for the help :0

Great stuff Zachery. Keep those hacker-help-tutorials coming.
