outgoing Mail/SMTP not working on 2.0.3 > needed for invitation-based registration

Hi,

kudos to Vanilla - insanely great work!

Smooth install to maintain a newly founded Waldorf school in Munich, Germany: http://www.waldorfschule-muenchen-suedwest.de/forum/

Installed Vaillaforums 2.0.3 on PHP Version 5.2.12, MySQL 5.0.89

Outgoing email doesn't seem to work - for both the [1] external SMTP and [2] local mail server: Any mail-based operation idles indefinitely.

Yet notifications for commented/new messages do work, mail is received to/from

Trying to find the bug:

[1] SMTP-settings are verified, mail can be sent/received wit these credentials:
# SMTP Host: smtp.strato.de
# SMTP User: forum.admin@waldorfschule-muenchen-suedwest.de
# SMTP Password ****
# SMTP Port: 25
# SMTP Security: [none]

SMTP-Security settings don't make a difference - tested all.

We need Outgoing mail/SMTP will to utilize invitation-based registration.

Anyone help me with this, please?

Cheers,
Stefan.

    So you are saying some of the notifications work, but invitations don't?
  • um, nope ... outgoing mail from vanilla isn't working at all:
    negative for both for the [1] external SMTP and [2] local mail server

    The mailaccount under [1] is working, IMAP though ... does that make a difference?

    Stefan.
