Post subject: | Problem getting Email settings right in phpBB 3 (using SMTP) |
Hello all, I have a personal account and a hosted domain. The phpbb 3 board setup went fine but I'm really struggling to setup email for the board. I've created a new email with password at my domain (info@mydomain.org) which seems to work fine using webmail. In phpbb 3, I'm trying to use SMPT, the settings I have are - Enable board-wide e-mails: enabled E-mail function name: mail (<- this is the php function) Contact e-mail address: info@mydomain.org Return e-mail address: info@mydomain.org Use SMTP server for e-mail: Yes SMTP server address: mbox.100ws.com SMTP server port: 25 Authentication method for SMTP: LOGIN SMTP username: info@mydomain.org SMTP password: the email password The error I get when trying to send email from the board is - Could not connect to smtp host : 13 : Permission denied <b>[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice</b>: in file <b>/includes/functions_messenger.php</b> on line <b>835</b>: <b>fsockopen(): unable to connect to mbox.100ws.com:25</b><br /> There are the following Authentification options - PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 POP-BEFORE-SMTP I don't know which I should use. I've tried them all with no luck. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what I should try? Many thanks. |

I will advice you to disable the SMTP send method. That is how your forum will use the php mail() function for sending notifications. |
