I also was getting the parser error using vb v3.0.3 and Argosoft Mail Server Pro (v1.8.7.0). This fix did not work for me (in fact, it looks like it's designed for an earlier version of vB.)

I ultimately had to use full quotations around my smtpuser field for it to work. I was unable to use the $vbphrase[webmasteremail].

var $smtpHost = "mailserver.server.info";
var $smtpPort = 25;
var $smtpUser = "admin@site.com";
var $smtpPass = *****;
var $smtpSocket = null;

It's too bad this isn't supported by default - I'm super curious why it's not. Now my poor little board is hacked.

Thanks for whoever it was that finally led me in the right direction...

Nice mod, but I don't see why I get this errormessage() error like some other people in this thread are getting

Since I didn't actually do the coding I figured it would be less confusing than just posting the changes, but he labled all of his changes so it was easy enough for me to do. I've gone through the two files and have pieced it together the best I can and attached ONLY the changes.

Better? I Really hope this helps!

Sorry for stepping out of bounds. *Considers his hands properly slapped*

Your mod causes some parse errors.

I fixed my parsing errors by encapsulating my email address in double quotations.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Anyways, I can't seem to get this to work

I've contacted Jelsoft and they haven't replied back in 3 hours or so yet as well.

Your FUNCTIONS.php change cause T string error. I followed your txt file and I think it needs to be checked for the {} signs
