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.
