Problem SMTP

Hi all,

I have a problem with my SMTP configuration.
My server is running with Wamp and my provider is 1&1.
All my mail notifications on my site (Dolphin 7) don't work.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 must be authenticated in D:\wamp\www\inc\utils.inc.php on line 423

I've just configured my php.ini like:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = auth.smtp.1and1.fr
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 587

I think it's cause the SMTP need an authentication but I don't know where configure it (with the mail() fonction).
Also, It seems that I should use another fonction to send my mails (Pear mail, PHP Mailer ...) to precise my autentication fields..

Do I really to do this ? Or Maybe it exists a solution (Module...) to resolve my problem ?


Thanks

Hello,

You can try this mod:

Alex.

I have the mod AlexT posted and it works great, I use secure smtp connection and configuration is easy.

Hi,

It's perfect now with mailer smtp

thank you

How can we do this without paying for the mod ?

Really smtp settings for outgoing mail should be part of the install of Dolphin.

Thanks for any assistance on this subject :)

Simple is never that easy. Most servers already have their own mail programs installed and you should be able to make use of those. Creating and managing your own email server, even a simple smtp setup can be a daunting task on today's internet. One misstep and you are forever branded as a spammer not to mention a lot of larger email servers won't even accept email from specific IP ranges just because they've been labeled as non commercial or have a bad IP history.

I agree.

Not to knock kolimarfeys mod - after all it does more than simply fix this issue, but the absence of authentication in the mail() implementation is simply half a job. Most SMTP servers require authentication nowadays as a it's the first line of defence in preventing them from being used as spam relays.

Arthur, put quite simply, this is a bug, and it needs to be fixed.
