SMTP Error: Can't send emails due to SMTP Error

PinkSheep

I think i have narrowed down the problem to this my path to send mail: Path to sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i as this is different from other hosting company's do i need to change vanilla to point to this?

i've used the same SMTP account with PHPMAILER as a test and it sends the email fine but in vanilla it gives me a SMTP Error.

Thanks in advance.

do you have this set. just curious.

$Configuration['Garden']['Email']['UseSmtp'] = '1';

Vanilla has an old version of phpmailer also -

in vanilla, it is...

phpmailer seems to be called out of /vanilla/library/core/class.email.php

public $Sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

No its set to.. $Configuration['Garden']['Email']['UseSmtp'] = FALSE; should i set it in there instead then? I'll try it and see.

you have to determine how you want to send mail (via smtp or not) and modify config.php accordingly.
